Adsorption and Release Characteristics of Purified and Non-Purified Clinoptilolite Tuffs towards Health-Relevant Heavy Metals
The occurrence of health-relevant contaminants in water has become a severe global problem. For treating heavy-metal-polluted water, the use of zeolite materials has been extended over the last decades, due to their excellent features of high ion exchange capacity and absorbency. The aim of this stu...

The occurrence of health-relevant contaminants in water has become a severe global problem. For treating heavy-metal-polluted water, the use of zeolite materials has been extended over the last decades, due to their excellent features of high ion exchange capacity and absorbency. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of heavy metal uptake of one purified (PCT) and two non-purified clinoptilolite tuffs (NPCT1 and NPCT2) in aqueous solutions on monovalent ions Ni<sup>+</sup>, Cd<sup>+</sup>, Cs<sup>+</sup>, Ba<sup>+</sup>, Tl<sup>+</sup>, and Pb<sup>+</sup>. Experiments were furthermore carried out in artificial gastric and intestinal fluids to mimic human digestion and compare removal efficiencies of the adsorbent materials as well as release characteristics in synthetic gastric (SGF) and intestinal fluids (SIF). Batch experiments show low sorption capacities for Ni<sup>+</sup> and Cd<sup>+</sup> for all studied materials; highest affinities were found for Ba<sup>+</sup> (99–100%), Pb<sup>+</sup> (98–100%), Cs<sup>+</sup> (97–98%), and Tl<sup>+</sup> (96%), depending on the experimental setup for the PCT.
