Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of zeolite from Malaysia’s natural kaolin for adsorption of sodium ion (NA+) from seawater by Sazali, Norsuhailizah

“…For column adsorption analysis, breakthrough capacity, qB was increased by increasing the bed height of zeolite-A and initial sodium ion concentration but decrease when increasing the flow rate. The column kinetic model shows the Adam Bohart model slightly better fitted with R2 range is 0.86-0.95 for flow rate, R2 = 0.82- 0.93 for bed height and R2 = 0.90-0.95 for initial sodium ion concentration compared to Thomas model, R2 = 0.84-0.94 for flow rate, R2 = 0.72-0.89 for bed height and R2= 0.78-0.88 for initial sodium ion concentration and Yoon and Nelson model, R2 = 0.84- 0.94 for flow rate, R2 = 0.69-0.89 for bed height and R2 = 0.78-0.87 for initial sodium ion concentration. …”
