Effect of Cation Exchange on the Performance of Clinoptilolite Mineral in the Ethanol Dewatering Process

This study describes the effect of cation exchange (Ni 2+ and Ca 2+ ) on the adsorption capacity and breakthrough time of a natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) employed in the ethanol dewatering process. The results obtained showed that modification of clinoptilolite (Clin) by cation exchange led to a...
