Abstract
Five phyllosilicates (kaolinite, montmorillonite, saponite, sepiolite and palygorskite) have been selected as starting materials for the synthesis of zeolites. Among them, kaolinite and montmorillonite display the lowest Si/Al molar ratio leading to aluminosilicates with high crystallinity. Thus, the hydrothermal treatment under basic conditions forms 4A zeolite when kaolinite is used as starting material while 13X zeolite is obtained when montmorillonite is used as starting material. The microporosity and CO2-adsorption capacity of the prepared zeolites are directly related to its crystallinity. Thus, in order to improve it, raw phyllosilicates were subjected to a microwave-assisted treatment to remove undesired Mg or Fe-species, which have a negative effect in the assembling of the zeolites by hydrothermal basic conditions in a second step. The highest adsorption value was 3.85 mmol/g at 25 °C and 760 mm of Hg for Mont-A-B sample after the consecutive treatments.

Abstract
Cadmium-induced water pollution is a major environmental issue because of its persistent nature and adverse ecological impacts. Adsorption is a highly favored method due to its versatility and high efficacy in cadmium removal. Hence, the present work aims to develop a low-cost, highly effective adsorbent-dolochar-derived nanoporous zeolite to easily and effectively purify Cd(II) polluted water. The work focuses on the Cd(II) batch adsorption study using the optimal hydrothermal synthesis of a crystalline faujasite Zeolite X (ZX) from dolochar. The synthesis parameters were optimized using Response Surface Methodology, specifically Box Behnken Design (RSM-BBD), to maximize the crystallinity percentage. Variables such as initial Cd(II) concentration, solution pH, dosage, time, and temperature were studied for the Cd(II) batch adsorption study. The optimum conditions for synthesizing ZX include NaOH/Dolochar, crystallization temperature, and crystallization time of 1.375, 100 °C, and 11 h, respectively. The resultant XRD structure exhibited an average crystal size and crystallinity of 0.79 μm and 87.231 %, respectively. The average pore size, micropore volume, micropore area, and total surface area were 3.316 nm, 0.311 cc. g-1, 567.226 m2 g-1, and 583.117 m2 g-1, respectively. The maximum removal was accomplished with optimum conditions of 0.25 g.L-1 dosage, 80 min, at 313.15 K, and 6.5 pH. Adsorption isotherm results agreed with those hypothesized by Freundlich isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 714.285 mg g-1, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model describes the adsorption kinetics well. The relevance of the results highlights the importance of using this dolochar-derived nanoporous zeolite as an adsorbent to effectively treat Cd(II) containing wastewater.

Abstract
Saponin is a plant-derived chemical with an amphiphilic glycoconjugate structure extracted from sapindaceae plants like Sapindus rarak. This study investigated saponin extract of Sapindus rarak as a natural template for formation of mesoporous zeolite Y. Surface area and mesoporosity of zeolite Y were improved with optimization of Sapindus rarak extract (SRE) concentration (Y-Ln; n = 2, 5, 10 or 15 mL), reaching 216.26 m2 mesoporous area and 0.214 cm3 g-1 mesoporous volume for Y-L10 samples. A different loading of Ni was impregnated onto Y-L10 zeolite to improve Lewis/Brønsted acidity as catalysts in the deoxygenation of Reutealis trisperma oil (RTO) into hydrocarbon fuels. Impregnating 15% Ni on NaY zeolite enhanced Lewis acidity to 0.4556 mmol g-1, producing 48.8% liquid oil with 85.43% degree of deoxygenation. A high selectivity towards C15 and C17 hydrocarbon was analyzed from liquid yield, indicating the contributing factor from Lewis acidity and mesoporosity to enhance deoxygenation and prevent the hydrocracking reaction.

Abstract
Introducing sustainability into advanced catalytic material design is essential to address growing environmental concerns. Among them, synthesizing inorganic zeolite materials from non-traditional sources (like natural clay) offers several advantages, contributing to sustainability and environmental stewardship. With this objective, we used kaolin to synthesize zeolites with different topologies: SSZ-13 (8-MR with CHA topology), ZSM-5 (10-MR with MFI topology), and Beta (12-MR with BEA topology) (MR: member ring), where a simple and flexible synthetic protocol was adopted without any significant changes. All these zeolites were subjected to catalytic performance evaluation concerning the industrially relevant methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) process. Herein, the kaolin-derived zeolites, especially ZSM-5, led to superior performance and demonstrated enhanced catalyst deactivation-resistant behavior compared to their zeolite counterparts prepared from traditional synthetic routes. Various characterization tools (including under operando conditions) were employed to understand their reactions and deactivation mechanisms. Overall, making zeolites from non-traditional sources presents a pathway for sustainable and environmentally friendly material production, offering benefits such as reduced resource dependence, lower energy consumption, and tailored physicochemical properties beneficial to catalysis. In a broader context, such a research approach contributes to the transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy.

Abstract
This study focuses on optimizing the CO2 adsorption capacity of 4A-zeolite synthesized from kaolin by employing structural modifications through impregnation with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and diethanolamine (DEA). Various analytical techniques were utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of these modifications. Design expert software and response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for data analysis and operational variable optimization, leading to improved CO2 adsorption performance of the modified zeolites. The adsorption capacity of the modified zeolites was assessed under different temperatures, pressures, and amine concentrations using a test device. The optimal adsorption capacity of 4A-DEA adsorbent is found to be 579.468 mg/g, with the optimal operational variables including a temperature of 25.270 °C, pressure of 8.870 bar, and amine concentration of 11.112 wt%. The analysis shows that the adsorption process involves both physisorption and chemisorption, and the best kinetic model is the fractional-factor model.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination of water sources has emerged as a major global environmental concern, threatening both aquatic ecosystems and human health. Heavy metal pollution in the aquatic environment is on the rise due to industrialization, climate change, and urbanization. Sources of pollution include mining waste, landfill leachates, municipal and industrial wastewater, urban runoff, and natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, weathering, and rock abrasion. Heavy metal ions are toxic, potentially carcinogenic, and can bioaccumulate in biological systems. Heavy metals can cause harm to various organs, including the neurological system, liver, lungs, kidneys, stomach, skin, and reproductive systems, even at low exposure levels. Efforts to find efficient methods to remove heavy metals from wastewater have increased in recent years. Although some approaches can effectively remove heavy metal contaminants, their high preparation and usage costs may limit their practical applications. Many review articles have been published on the toxicity and treatment methods for removing heavy metals from wastewater. This review focuses on the main sources of heavy metal pollution, their biological and chemical transformation, toxicological impacts on the environment, and harmful effects on the ecosystem. It also examines recent advances in cost-effective and efficient techniques for removing heavy metals from wastewater, such as physicochemical adsorption using biochar and natural zeolite ion exchangers, as well as decomposition of heavy metal complexes through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Finally, the advantages, practical applications, and future potential of these techniques are discussed, along with any challenges and limitations that must be considered.

Abstract
The Si and Al in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) can be utilized for zeolite fabrication, which can improve the application value of the products. This study focuses on the fabrication of zeolite from MSWI FA by microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MH) treatment. The effects of magnetic stirring time, Na2SiO3 dosage, MH time, and NaOH solution concentration on the crystallization of zeolite NaP1 from MSWI FA are systematically analyzed. The synthetic products are analyzed through spectroscopic and mineralogical methods. The results show that zeolite NaP1 with high crystallinity (51.68 %) can be fabricated by magnetic stirring and MH treatment, and the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the product can reach a value of 2.58 meq/g, which is approximately 133 times that of the CEC of MSWI FA. The Si/Al ratio plays a decisive role in the zeolite NaP1 synthesis, and a Na2SiO3 dosage of 30 wt% is adopted for zeolite NaP1 fabrication. A NaOH concentration of 1 M is sufficient for zeolite NaP1 synthesis. Additionally, the zeolite NaP1 content is found to obviously increase with increasing MH time from 0.5 h to 2 h. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method provided in this study, the optimal experimental condition is employed for various MSWI FAs, and zeolite NaP1 and analcime are fabricated successfully. The leachability of heavy metals for the synthetic products was evaluated, which met the requirements for pollution control. The BET surface area and total pore volume of zeolite NaP1 fabricated at optimal condition are 61.42 m2/g and 0.44 cm3/g, respectively. The adsorption capacity of zeolite NaP1 for Cu2+ ion and methylene blue are determined to be 84.65 mg/g and 84.55 mg/g, respectively, indicating zeolite NaP1 is a potential adsorbent for cation ion and dyes. This study provides an environmentally friendly scheme for the utilization of MSWI FA.

Abstract
Borassus flabellifer leaf extract has been used for rapid biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) due to rich source of bioactive compounds. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were preliminarily confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy adsorption peak range at 365 nm. The XRD (X-ray diffraction) confirms purity of ZnO-NPs that were crystalline in nature. The analysis of FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) confirms the presence of the following functional group such as alcohol, phenols, carboxylic acids, primary amides, secondary amides, and alkyl halide. The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) analysis indicated that ZnO-NPs were in spherical shape, followed by EDX analysis which confirmed the presence of Zn-element. Antimicrobial effect of ZnO-NPs was investigated using different clinical pathogens like bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella Pneumonia, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungi Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, and Penicillium expansum which confirmed ZnO-NPs efficiency as an antimicrobial agent. ZnO-NP antimicrobial efficiency was observed in higher zone of inhibition at 50 μg/mL concentrations. Antioxidant activity was ascertained to be used for several biomedical applications. The ZnO-NPs efficiently degraded the environmental toxic dyes (methylene blue and crystal violet) under sunlight, and up to 95% higher degradation was achieved in both dyes. In support of photo light degradation, the study was progressed to understand the ZnO-dye interaction stability using molecular mechanism, and it shows efficient bonding features in the NPs environment. Overall, this investigation has great potential for being an effective and eco-friendly material used in environmental applications.

Abstract
REE recovery tests were performed on a kaolinite and the corresponding metakaolinite using pH static leaching method. Test results show that over 90% of REEs were leached from the metakaolinite sample at pH 0.00 and 25 °C, while less than 2% of the major constituents were simultaneously extracted. Therefore, selective leaching of REEs from the metakaolinite was achieved through pH static leaching. The leaching residue was then subjected to alkaline activation for zeolites synthesis. The effects of hydrothermal temperature and incubation period under various alkaline conditions on the synthesis of zeolites were systematically investigated. The phase compositions, textual properties, and morphology of the synthesized products were characterized. Pure zeolite A with 100% relative crystallinity was successfully synthesized at 80 °C for 6 h when using 3 M NaOH as the alkaline activator. While as the synthesis conditions became increasingly harsh, the metastable zeolite A gradually transformed into more stable sodalite, and three types of zeolites, including zeolite A, sodalite, and their mixtures, were obtained. After that, various types of zeolites were applied for Ce3+ adsorption from aqueous solutions. High purity sodalite showed a higher adsorption capacity of 53 mg/g at pH 6.0 and 25 °C as a result of the superior textual properties compared with zeolite A. The adsorption data were suitably fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order models. Findings from this study suggest that the kaolinite is a potential source for REE recovery, and the leaching residue is suitable for the synthesis of zeolites, which can be used as promising adsorbents for Ce3+ recovery.

Abstract
The attempt of the current study is to find an eco-friendly method for managing the solid waste deposited in the landfill of used motor oil recovery factories through the fabrication of zeolite-based compounds. This toxic waste is originated from the application of natural bentonite, traditionally used as an effective adsorbent in the recovery process. The black waste was converted to zeolite structures through the fusion technique. Firstly, the collected powder was mixed with sodium hydroxide, and boehmite followed by the thermal treatment at different temperatures, 600-800 °C. Then, the obtained precursors were hydrothermally converted to zeolite A or hydroxysodalite. The effects of processing factors like alkalinity, boehmite, and sodium aluminate ratios (respect to solid waste mass), fusion temperature, and aging time on the structural characteristics, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were studied in detail. In order to achieve a cation exchange capacity of about 190 mg g-1, the alkali and boehmite ratios should be adjusted at 2.00 and 0.53, respectively. Based on the morphological observations, the fusion at 800 °C caused the formation of cubic particles with sharp edges. Besides, the hydrosodalite powder with the extended surface area, 77 m2 g-1, could be produced by fixing the boehmite, and sodium aluminate ratios at the levels of 0.13 and 0.40, respectively.

Abstract
High energy demand from the market due to the rapid increment of the human population worldwide has urged society to explore alternatives to replace non-renewable energy. Renewable diesel produced from biomass could be the next potential energy source for its high stability, long-term storage, and comparable performance with diesel fuels. In producing renewable diesel, the application of catalyst is essential, and the catalyst support is synthesized with the catalyst to enhance the reaction rate and catalytic properties. In this review, the type of catalyst support will be reviewed along with a brief introduction to biodiesel and renewable diesel production, especially focusing on zeolites as the catalyst support. The enhancement of catalyst support will be critically discussed to improve the catalytic performance of support in renewable diesel production and important aspects such as the stability and recyclability of the supported catalyst are included. The application of the supported catalyst in increasing the selectivity and yield of renewable diesel is significant, in which the catalytic properties depend on the interaction between catalyst and catalyst support. The supported catalyst as a favorable substance to assist in enhancing renewable diesel yield could lead to a sustainable and greener future for the biofuel industry in Malaysia.

Abstract
Nitrate is the most common contaminant in groundwater in Korea, as well as across the world. Reduction of nitrate to ammonia is one of the options available to remediate groundwater. In this study, nitrate in groundwater was removed using a zero-valent iron (ZVI) containing biochar synthesized by co-pyrolyzing iron oxide and sawdust biomass. Among the various biogases generated during the pyrolysis of biomass, CO and H2 act as reducing agents to transform iron oxides to ZVI. Approximately 71% of nitrate was reduced to ammonium by ZVI-biochar at initial pH 2.0, and the reduction decreased sharply by the increase in pH. The mass of nitrate-N decreased is exactly same with the mass of ammonia-N formed. However, ammonium remained in the aqueous phase after reduction by ZVI-biochar, and the total nitrogen was not lowered. Acid-washed zeolite adsorbed most ammonium reduced by the ZVI-biochar and maintained the pH to acidic condition to facilitate the reduction of nitrate. The results of this study imply that nitrate-contaminated groundwater can be properly treated within the guidelines of water quality by synthesized ZVI-containing biochar.

Abstract
In this paper, synthetic metakaolin with fixed composition (Al2O3·2SiO2) was produced by a simple chemosynthetic route. The chemosynthetic metakaolin can eliminate the influence of impurities in metakaolin from natural kaolin minerals. The synthetic metakaolin together with NaOH and SiO2-sol were used to prepare Na-based geopolymer precursors with various molar ratios of Si/Al. The molar ratios of Si/Al from 1 to 2 were tailored by adding different contents of SiO2-sol. Zeolite/geopolymer composites or monolith-type zeolite were successfully fabricated from synthetic metakaolin-based geopolymer through a hydrothermal process. The effects of Si/Al ratios on the phase composition and microstructure of the produced zeolite/geopolymer composites or zeolites were studied. The results proved that the composition of synthetic metakaolin and geopolymer precursors can be facilely tuned, and the monolithic geopolymer precursors can be mostly, or even totally, transformed into zeolite after hydrothermal treatment.

Abstract
This study deals with the impact of calcination, alkalinity, and curing time parameters on the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite A. The zeolite A sample, produced from corncob-stalk-and-leaves (corn stover) ash was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that calcination, alkalinity, and curing time have significant effects on the crystallization and the morphology of zeolite A. In addition, these parameters also impacted the cation exchange capacity. Furthermore, the synthesized zeolite A was obtained using a calcination temperature of 500 °C within two hours of airflow, which is much lower than the temperatures previously reported in the literature for an agricultural waste and other waste materials. A fusion ratio of corn stover ash:NaOH of 1.0:1.5 and a curing time of nine hours were achieved. This is a major result as this curing time is much lower than those featured in other studies, which can reach up to twenty-four hours. In this paper, cubic crystal with rounded edge of zeolite A, having a cation exchange capacity of 2.439 meq Na+/g of synthesized anhydrous zeolite A, was obtained, which can be a good candidate for ion-exchange separation.

Abstract
NaA zeolite-coated metakaolin granules (MKG@NaA) were successfully synthesized from kaolin mineral by primary growth in the hydrothermal reaction without using glue or a seed crystal. The XRD and SEM analysis results revealed that a layer of NaA zeolite with a typical cubic shape and high crystallinity formed on the surface of kaolin granules. The obtained material was used as an adsorbent for lead metal ion Pb(II) adsorption studies in a fixed-bed column configuration. The operation factors such as the solution inflow rate, Pb(II) concentration, and column height were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of the material increased with increasing column height and initial concentration of the influent and decreased with increasing flow rate. With the test parameters at the Pb(II) concentration of 100 mg·L-1, the adsorbent bed height of 8.1 cm, and the inflow rate of 2.5 mL·min-1, the lead ion adsorption capacity was 118.5 mg·g-1. The Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and bed depth service time models were applied to describe the breakthrough curves for Pb(II) ion removal by a fix-bed column using the MKG@NaA absorbent and to predict the column performance under different experimental conditions with good linearity (R 2 > 0.95).

Abstract
Natural kaolin-based Ni catalysts have been developed for low-temperature CO2 methanation. The catalysts were prepared via a one-step co-impregnation of Ni and Ce onto a natural kaolin-derived metakaolin using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method as an acid-/base-free synthesis method. The influences of microwave irradiation and Ce promotion on the catalytic enhancement including the CO2 conversion, CH4 selectivity, and CH4 yield were experimentally investigated by a catalytic test of as-prepared catalysts in a fixed-bed tubular reactor. The relationship between the catalyst properties and its methanation activities was revealed by various characterization techniques including X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, scanning electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, elemental mapping, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, and X-ray absorption near-edge structure analyses. Among the two enhancement methods, microwave and Ce promotion, the microwave-assisted synthesis could produce a catalyst containing highly dispersed Ni particles with a smaller Ni crystallite size and higher catalyst reducibility, resulting in a higher CO2 conversion from 1.6 to 7.5% and a better CH4 selectivity from 76.3 to 79.9% at 300 °C. Meanwhile, the enhancement by Ce addition exhibited a great improvement on the catalyst activities. It was experimentally found that the CO2 conversion increased approximately 7-fold from 7.5 to 52.9%, while the CH4 selectivity significantly improved from 79.9 to 98.0% at 300 °C. Though the microwave-assisted synthesis could further improve the catalyst activities of Ce-promoted catalysts, the Ce addition exhibited a more prominent impact than the microwave enhancement. Cerium oxide (CeO2) improved the catalyst activities through mechanisms of higher CO2 adsorption capacity with its basic sites and the unique structure of CeO2 with a reversible valence change of Ce4+ and Ce3+ and high oxygen vacancies. However, it was found that the catalyst prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis and Ce promotion proved to be the optimum catalyst in this study. Therefore, the present work demonstrated the potential to synthesize a nickel-based catalyst with improved catalytic activities by adding a small amount of Ce as a catalytic promoter and employing microwave irradiation for improving the Ni dispersion.

[PMID: 33636773 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.144973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
This paper reports a facile route to prepare bulk zeolites with tunable phase compositions and microstructures by combining hydrothermal treatment and geopolymer precursor technique. Amorphous Na-based geopolymer (NaGP) is transformed into crystalline analcime following hydrothermal treatments. By systematically investigating the effects of hydrothermal conditions on the phase compositions and microstructures of the products, the optimal hydrothermal procedure is screened as treating NaGP in 1 M NaOH solution at 160 °C for 6 h. Furthermore, we achieve control over phase compositions of the resulting bulk zeolites by tailoring the initial Na/K ratio of geopolymer precursors. For instance, treating the geopolymer precursor with a Na/K ratio of 9: 1 under the optimal hydrothermal procedure leads to the formation of zeolite consisting of analcime and zeolite-P. The as-prepared adsorbents exhibit outstanding adsorption performance for the hazardous elements, among which analcime-zeolite-P shows an adsorption efficiency of 93.3% for Cs+, and NaGP exhibits an adsorption efficiency of 99.6% for Sr2+. Moreover, we reveal the mechanisms underlying the adsorption of Cs+ and Sr2+ in the adsorbents to be chemisorption. Meanwhile, ion exchanges also occur in NaGP and analcime-zeolite-P during Cs+ adsorption. These results render geopolymers and their derived bulk zeolites promising for hazardous elements adsorption.

Abstract
Generation of alum sludge (AS) at drinking water treatment plants represents an environmental liability and adds to the cost of water purification. Consequently, this study explored the feasibility of using low and high carbon containing alum sludge from two water treatment plants to synthesize zeolite LTA. The hypothesis was that zeolite LTA synthesis was dependant upon alum sludge source and that a range of strategies may be required to optimize zeolite crystallinity. Zeolite characteristics such as morphology, phase composition, crystallinity, and particle size distribution were recorded. "One pot" hydrothermal synthesis of precursor gel with molar composition 4.2Na2O:Al2O3:1.2SiO2:168H2O at 80°C for 3 hr resulted in 25 and 46 wt.% zeolite LTA from high and low carbonaceous sludge, respectively. Prior to hydrothermal reaction stage it was discovered that ageing of the gel, addition of zeolite LTA seeds, ultrasonic treatment and calcination all promoted zeolite LTA formation. Calcination of the alum sludge at 700°C for 2 hr before hydrothermal synthesis resulted in particle size reduction and the highest amount of crystalline zeolite LTA: 79 wt.% from low carbon sludge and 65 wt.% from high carbon sludge. Notably, the zeolite crystallinity reported in this study was the higher than previous studies on this topic. The outlined approach may allow value adding of alum waste and produce a commodity which could be used locally by the water treatment plant as a water softener.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an ecofriendly technique for purifying organic pollutants in environmental systems. While pilot-scale photoreactors have explored photocatalytic system upscalibility, their practical implementation is restricted for various reasons. These include feed composition alteration, complicated photoreactor designs, high operation and synthesis costs, photocatalyst poisoning, low quantum yield under solar irradiation, fast exciton recombination, and low reuse or regeneration capabilities. In this paper, we highlight the photocatalyst scalability challenges for real-world applications. We also provide an in-depth discussion on photocatalyst opportunities for effective air and water pollution control. Lastly, we offer a contemporary perspective on photocatalysis scale-up for the real environmental treatment.

Abstract
Novel hierarchically structured Faujasite Type (FAU) zeolite was fabricated from industrial waste lithium silica fume (LSF) via hydrothermal method without the addition of templates. The FAU zeolites exhibited spherical filler morphology with maximum surface area of 372.8 m2/g, enriched microporosity (0.164 cm3/g), and abundant mesoporosity. Owing to its unique structure, the FAU zeolite allowed ultrafast diffusion and rapid trap of copper ion inside the cages of zeolite crystals, and achieved maximum removal (78.76%) of Cu(II) within the very first 2 min, with adsorption rate constant 5.46-6.27 times greater than that of mesoporous commercial zeolite (CZ) between 15 and 45 °C. The physico-chemical structures of the FAU zeolites were carefully studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FT-IR), surface area analyzer (BET) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The maximum qe toward Cu(II) achieved by FAU zeolite (i.e., Z9, S/A of 9) featuring a qe of 94.46 mg/g at 25 °C as per calculated from Langmuir model, which is more than twice amount achieved by CZ (39.15 mg/g). Z9 also showed outstanding selectivity for Cu(II) over various coexisting ions. The saturated Z9 can be regenerated with a mild washing procedure, and the spent zeolite can be reused as effective antibacterial agent. This work proposes a cost-effective and green synthesis route for the hierarchically structured zeolite with high copper selective removal capacity from industrial waste.

Abstract
An incredible amount of joss fly ash is produced from the burning of Chinese holy joss paper; thus, an excellent method of recycling joss fly ash waste to extract aluminosilicate nanocomposites is explored. The present research aims to introduce a novel method to recycle joss fly ash through a simple and straightforward experimental procedure involving acidic and alkaline treatments. The synthesized aluminosilicate nanocomposite was characterized to justify its structural and physiochemical characteristics. A morphological analysis was performed with field-emission transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy revealed the size of the aluminosilicate nanocomposite to be ~25 nm, while also confirming a uniformly spherical-shaped nanostructure. The elemental composition was measured by energy dispersive spectroscopy and revealed the Si to Al ratio to be 13.24 to 7.96, showing the high purity of the extracted nanocomposite. The roughness and particle distribution were analyzed using atomic force microscopy and a zeta analysis. X-ray diffraction patterns showed a synthesis of faceted and cubic aluminosilicate crystals in the nanocomposites. The presence of silica and aluminum was further proven by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the functional groups were recognized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The thermal capacity of the nanocomposite was examined by a thermogravimetric analysis. In addition, the research suggested the promising application of aluminosilicate nanocomposites as drug carriers. The above was justified by an enzyme-linked apta-sorbent assay, which claimed that the limit of the aptasensing aluminosilicate-conjugated ampicillin was two-fold higher than that in the absence of the nanocomposite. The drug delivery property was further justified through an antibacterial analysis against Escherichia coli (gram-negative) and Bacillus subtilis (gram-positive).

Abstract
Microporous and mesoporous minerals are key elements of advanced technological cycles nowadays. Nature-driven microporous materials are known for biocompatibility and renewability. Zeolite is known as an eminent microporous hydrated aluminosilicate mineral containing alkali metals. It is commercially available as adsorbent and catalyst. However, the large quantity of water uptake occupies active sites of zeolite making it less efficient. The widely-used chitosan polysaccharide has also been used in miscellaneous applications, particularly in medicine. However, inferior mechanical properties hampered its usage. Chitosan-modified zeolite composites exhibit superior properties compared to parent materials for innumerable requests. The alliance between a microporous and a biocompatible material with the accompaniment of negative and positive charges, micro/nanopores and proper mechanical properties proposes promising platforms for different uses. In this review, chitosan-modified zeolite composites and their applications have been overviewed.

Abstract
Crystalline sodium Y (NaY) zeolite has been synthesized using alternative natural source of aluminate and silicate, extracted from natural Belitung kaolin. Prior to use, the natural kaolin was pretreated to obtain fragmented metakaolin and extracted silica. Synthesis was conducted with the addition of NaY gel (two types of NaY seeds were used, prepared from colloidal sillica or sodium silica water) using hydrothermal method for 21 h at 100 °C. The characterization on the as-synthesized zeolites confirmed that the one prepared using colloidal silica-seed has closer structure similarity to NaY zeolite that was synthesized using pro analysis silicate and aluminate sources. Thus, the rest of the synthesis of NaY was carried out using colloidal silica-NaY seed. The NaY zeolites then were converted to HY, through ammonium-exchange followed by calcination, to be tested as cracking catalysts using n-hexadecane as a probe molecule. It shows that HY from metakaolin and extracted silica gives high performance, i.e., n-hexadecane conversion of 58%–64%, also C5-C12 percentage yield and selectivity of 56%–62% and 98%. This work has shown the potential to utilize kaolin as alternative silicate aluminate sources for crystalline zeolite synthesis and to obtain inexpensive and environmentally friendly catalyst materials.

Abstract
As primary feedstocks in the petrochemical industry, light olefins such as ethylene and propylene are mainly obtained from steam cracking of naphtha and short chain alkanes (ethane and propane). Due to their similar physical properties, the separations of olefins and paraffins-pivotal processes to meet the olefin purity requirement of downstream processing-are typically performed by highly energy-intensive cryogenic distillation at low temperatures and high pressures. To reduce the energy input and save costs, adsorptive olefin/paraffin separations have been proposed as promising techniques to complement or even replace cryogenic distillation, and growing efforts have been devoted to developing advanced adsorbents to fulfill this challenging task. In this Review, a holistic view of olefin/paraffin separations is first provided by summarizing how different processes have been established to leverage the differences between olefins and paraffins for effective separations. Subsequently, recent advances in the development of porous materials for adsorptive olefin/paraffin separations are highlighted with an emphasis on different separation mechanisms. Last, a perspective on possible directions to push the limit of the research in this field is presented.

Abstract
Hierarchical zeolites have been extensively studied due to their enhancement of intra-crystalline diffusion, which leads to the improved catalytic activity and resistance to coking-deactivation. Traditional synthesis strategies of hierarchical zeolites via post-treatment or directing synthesis with the aid of mesoporous template are often characterized by high energy consumption and substantial use of expensive and environmentally unfriendly organic templates. In the recent decade, new green synthesis protocols have been developed for the effective synthesis of conventional and hierarchical zeolites. In this review, the latest advancements on the green synthesis of hierarchical zeolites are summarized and discussed in detail.
