Synthesis of zeolites X and A from fly ashes for cadmium and zinc removal from aqueous solutions in single and binary ion systems

Two different Brazilian fly ashes were used to selectively synthesize pure zeolites X and A by a two-step process. The zeolites were characterized in terms of mineralogical composition (XRD), morphological analysis (SEM), specific surface area (BET method), and cation exchange capacity (CEC). XRD an...
