Synthesis of low-cost hierarchical zeolite 13X structure from abundant natural bentonite for efficient adsorption of polyphenols from olive mill wastewater

Olive mill wastewater (OMW), rich in polyphenols, poses environmental challenges due to toxicity and biodegradation resistance. This study synthesized Zeolite 13X from natural bentonite via alkaline fusion at 550 °C with 2.0 M NaOH and hydrothermal treatment at 100 °C for 48 h. X...
