Abstract

Water pollution is a growing concern, particularly hexavalent chromium, a toxic pollutant that poses serious environmental and health risks due to its persistence and bioaccumulation. In this study, zeolite A–X was synthesized using an ultrasonic-alkali fusion hydrothermal method, with coal fly ash serving as the source of silica and aluminum, to treat chromium-containing wastewater. The zeolite A–X was successfully synthesized at an alkali-to-ash ratio of 1.5, a hydrothermal temperature of 90 °C, and a hydrothermal time of 12 h. Batch adsorption experiments showed that zeolite A–X achieved optimal adsorption of Cr (VI) at 13.73 mg g⁻¹ under a pH of 3.

期刊介绍： Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
