Adsorption of zinc from aqueous solution using zeolite / Zaidatul Fatimah Ahmad

In this study, the adsorption behavior of natural zeolite for zinc ion has been studied in order to consider its application to purity in metal finishing wastewater. The batch method has been employed using metal concentrations in solution ranging from 50 to 200 mg/L and different amount of natural...
