Description
Geopolymers are inorganic materials with three-dimensional networks and have attracted much attention in several water treatment practices. This research investigates the behaviour of zeolite based geopolymers and to have a better understanding of the properties of the geopolymers, the effect of zeolite particle size, curing temperature, solid-to-activator solutions ratio, the alkaline solution concentration and curing time on the geopolymer amorphous content and mechanical strength. Synthesized geopolymer materials were used in fixed bed column trials for lead and ammonium ions removal. Overall, the geopolymer sorbents were found to be exceptional in the removal of monovalent and divalent ions.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
