The natural zeolites chosen as support were commercially available Zeosand (80% clinoptilolite), ATZ (79% phillipsite/chabazite), and ZS-55RW (90% Chabazite). All the examined modified zeolites turned out active for hexavalent chromium abatement, lowering its concentration below the European regulation level, even at relatively high flow rates (40 mL/h, linear velocity 15 cm/h). Zeosand, having a broader pH range of stability, was found to be the best one in terms of both Fe(II) uptake (0.54 wt%) and Cr removal (90 mg Cr/Kg zeolite).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Iron(II) modified natural zeolites for hexavalent chromium removal from contaminated water}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/86129/PDF/aep-2016-0004.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aep-2016-0004}, keywords={Cr abatement, natural zeolites, water remediation, ferrous iron}, }
