The potential of this zeolite as an adsorbent has been evaluated by carrying out batch experiments for the removal of nickel. Characterisation of zeolite was done. Adsorption efficiency was estimated by considering different parameters such as concentration, amount of zeolite, pH, contact time and temperature. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model describes the equilibrium well. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
