What is it about?
In this study, we prepared synthetic zeolites and copper doped zeolite composite adsorbents as a cost-effective and simple approach to simultaneously remove heavy metals and total coliforms from wastewater

Why is it important?
The results obtained in this study showed high antimicrobial disinfection and heavy metal removal efficiencies of the synthesized adsorbents. Furthermore, these sorbents are efficient in significantly reducing physical parameters such as electrical conductivity, turbidity, BOD, and COD.
Perspectives
This adsorbent has very good potentials for the simultaneous removal of microbes, organic matters, and toxic metals removal from high-volume contaminated wastewaters.
