Abstract
Wastewater pollution by organic anions is of great interest. Surfactant-modified zeolites exhibit high adsorption of both organic and inorganic toxicants. Here, bisphenol-A and propranolol hydrochloride were adsorbed on natural zeolite modified with the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide with and without pretreatment of the zeolite with NaCl and HCl. Detailed physicochemical analysis shows chemisorption, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with the surfactant and bisphenol-A, and in the case of propranolol, also physisorption.
