Subjects: Zeolites, Mesoporous materials, Solution (Chemistry), Aluminum oxide, Water purification, Potential theory (Physics)
Abstract: Abstract: Presently, World is facing water crisis due to fast industrial development and consequent huge quantity of noxious compounds discharged into water systems. According to this scenario, pollutant rejection from wastewater till environmentally acceptable levels has to be considered a global challenge. Opportunities from material science are described, providing an overview on zeolites and silico-aluminas as selective sorbents for water treatment. Expectations from zeolite membranes are described, as well. Inferred separation mechanisms and potential field of applications are discussed for each class of materials. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
