sorption capacity

The sorption of copper ions from a solution of copper(II) sulfate by the native form of natural clinoptilolite under mechanical stirring and under the action of ultrasonic radiation of different power and under different modes of process implementation (continuous and cyclic) was investigated. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that ultrasonic vibrations significantly intensify the diffusion processes in the studied system.

The process of modification of natural clinoptilolite, pre-enriched by the main component, with manganese ions from nitrate solutions as precursors for obtaining manganese(IV) oxide was studied. The value of the sorption capacity of different fractions of clinoptilolite with respect to manganese ions at room temperature was determined, and the sorption rate and rate constants of this process were calculated. The influence of the concentration of manganese nitrate solution on the sorption capacity of certain fractions of zeolite was determined.

Areas of use of natural clinoptilolite were analyzed. The emphasis was placed on its application in water technology and medical practice. The results of the study of the dehydration of clinoptilolite at different temperatures were presented. The influence of the activation temperature of clinoptilolite on its sorption capacity for silver ions was determined. The effect of modification with ions and highly dispersed silver particles on the sorption capacity of various zeolite fractions with respect to water was investigated.

It was found that under the action of acoustic vibrations of the ultrasonic (US) range, the rate of sorption of Argentum ions and the static capacity of clinoptilolite are much higher than for the original natural zeolite. Pre-activation of the zeolite at 350 °С allows to increase the content of Argentum ions.An increase in both the power of the US-radiation and the modification temperature makes it possible to increase the static capacity of the zeolite.It is shown that the process of modification of clinoptilolite occurs mainly in the transition region.

The adsorption properties of Transcarpathian clinoptilolite regarding Cr (VI) ions is studied. It was found that the adsorption isotherm has s-like form and belongs to the isotherm of type II. It is established that the adsorption proceeds further after the formation of monomolecular adsorption layer. It leads to the cteation of dimolecular layer.
