Abstract

ion is adsorbed in the upper left side of the 8-ring HEU window. It was observed that the performance of the zeolite can significantly be improved by doping with germanium, aluminum, thallium indium, and sodium cations. These results indicate that the application of HEU zeolite as an adsorbent holds a great promise in heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions.
