Graphical Abstract
  • exchange in conventional solutions, in the solid phase with molten salts, and with gaseous phases. Depending on the chosen modification method, particularities regarding the elemental composition and application of the resulting materials occur [4][5][6]. Cu–Y zeolites were obtained by contacting Na–Y
  • treatments an ion exchange process occurred between the Ni2+ and Co2+ cations from solutions and the Ca2+, Na+, K+, and Mg2+ cations from the zeolite phases (mordenite and clinoptilolite-heulandite) contented within ZSA, as represented by Equation 1: where Z(s) is the solid zeolite phase, and An+ denotes the
