Abstract

The study reports the results in the removal efficiency of the metals released by zinc ferrite in aqueous systems, using a zeolitic sludge as an ion exchanger The so-called zinc ferrite is an industrial waste produced during the treatment of minerals for zinc extraction. The zeolitic sludge used in the experimental campaign is a by-product that derives from industrial processes and contains a combination of synthetic zeolites such as 4A (LTA) and 13X zeolite (FAU). Initially, different systems have been prepared, with predefined weight ratios of zeolitic sludge/zinc ferrite/water. The systems were analyzed, at different times, by plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) that allowed to measure the variation of concentration of Fe, Mg, Ca, Zn, Mn, Pb, Na, K ions. Zeolitic sludges were efficient for the total absorption of Pb and Zn ions.
