Sustainable Synthesis of Faujasite-Type Zeolites Synthesized from Rice Husk for Hg2+ Removal from Aqueous Solutions: Adsorption Performance, Mechanistic Insights, and Environmental Safety Assessment

Rice husk, an abundant agro-industrial by-product rich in SiO2, represents a promising precursor for the sustainable synthesis of zeolites. In this study, rice husk ash was used to synthesize faujasite-type X and faujasite-type Y, and their performance for Hg2+ removal from aqueo...
