Abstract

The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of the presence of competing cations on the individual adsorption of Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ from a solution containing a mixture of all these metal ions, by natural zeolite. In this work is shown compares the adsorption of each heavy metal ion from both single- and multi-component solutions. The amount adsorbed from multi-component solutions was affected significantly, except for Pb2+ where the difference between single and multi-component solution is minimal, almost insignificant. It was also determine the selectivity of natural zeolite, for the respective heavy metal ions. The selectivity series obtained for single component solution was: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Mn2+, and for multi-component solution was Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Mn2+ > Zn2+.
