Coal fly ash was used to synthesize X-type zeolite by alkali fusion followed by hydrothermal treatment. Characteristics of the various Fly ash samples were carried out. Coal proximate analysis was done. Batch experiment was carried out for the adsorption of some heavy metal ions on to synthesized Zeolite. The cost of synthesized zeolite was estimated to be almost one-fifth of that of commercial 13X zeolite available in the market.

One used method to reduce heavy metal ions in acid mine drainage is to adsorb them by coal fly ash. This research aimed to study the isotherms equilibrium and the adsorpstion kinetics that fit with decreasing metals ion. Acid mine draigane and fly ash were charge into batch coloumn adsorption with specified comparison. Variables investigated were dactivated and activated fly ash, adsorption times (0, 20, 30, 40,50, and 60 minutes), adsorben weights (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 gram), and pH (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9). The results showed that fly ash can be used to reduce the levels of heavy metal ions Fe and Mn. Coal fly ash adsorption model of acid mine drainage fits to Freundlich adsorption isotherm in all condition. First order pseudo model kinetics is suitable for Fe and Mn adsorption processes. The value of adsorpsi rate constants vary around : Fe and Mn (deactivated fly ash) 0.2388 min-1 with R2 = 0.4455 and 0.4173 min-1 with R2 = 0.9781, Fe and Mn (activated fly ash) 0.5043 min-1 dengan R2 = 1 and 0.2027 min-1 with R2 = 0.8803.

In order to develop a kind of slurry with low permeability which has some adsorption and retardation to the pollutants in leachate to be used in antiseepage engineering of leachate for landfill site, experiments based on orthogonal method were performed. The optimal PBFC slurry was selected: bentonite 18–26%, cement 16–24%, fly ash 18–20%, TOJ800-10 water reducing agent 0.01–0.03%, polyvinyl alcohol 0.2–0.8%, sodium carbonate 0.8–1.5% and water 680–780/1000 mL seriflus. The material has good groutability and a concretion stone ratio which is greater than 99.6%. The coefficient of permeability of 28-day concretion body is 0.53 × 10[Formula: see text]–1.86 × 10[Formula: see text] cm/s and the compressive strength is 0.64–1.04 MPa. The slurry has good adsorption and retardation properties. The block rate of NH4-N and phosphorus reached 98.28%, and the block rate of CODCr and BOD5 reached 85.67%. The block rate of Hg, Pb and other heavy metal ions reached 99.8%. The PBFC slurry improved the retardation capability of the pollutants of the leachate at the landfill site by its infiltration sedimentation and adsorption fixation.

The sorption characteristics of aluminosilicate microspheres of fly ash from thermal power plants with respect to heavy metal ions were studied with a view to their subsequent use for integrated treatment of household and industrial wastewater. The mechanism and kinetics of the sorption of total iron ions from aqueous solutions are studied, quantitative characteristics of the sorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constants are obtained. It has been established that aluminosilicate microspheres of fly ash possess sorption properties with respect to common iron ions. The sorption isotherm of iron ions from water by the material under study is characteristic of microporous sorbents. The quantitative characteristics of the sorption process allow us to conclude about the possibility of using aluminosilicate fly ash microspheres without any additional treatment for the purification of waste water from heavy metal ions.

Coal fly ash (CFA) was modified by hydrothermal treatment using NaOH solutions for zeolite synthesis. The XRD patterns of zeolite and coal fly ash are presented. The synthesized zeolite was investigated for adsorption of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution. It was shown that fly ash and the modified forms could effectively absorb heavy metals. The adsorption isotherm could be described by Freundlich isotherm equations. The pseudo second-order kinetics would be better for fitting the dynamic adsorption of Cu2+ and Cd2+.

In this study, fly ash (FA) coated with ZIF-8 (ZIF-8/FA) nanocomposite was first synthesized by taking 2-methylimidazole and zinc nitrate hexahydrate as reactants and then used as an adsorbent for adsorption of copper, zinc, and nickel ions from aqueous solution. The characteristic of FA and ZIF-8/FA samples were analyzed based on the data from scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, grain size analyzer and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The results showed that ZIF-8 deposited on the FA evenly. The average crystallite size of ZIF-8 on the surface of FA is 15.85 nm. The specific surface area of FA was increased from 1.8 to 249.5 m2/g. The adsorption efficiency of the ZIF-8/FA nanocomposite for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution was optimized in terms of different parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time. It was shown that the saturated adsorption amounts of the obtained composite for adsorption of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+ are 335, 197, and 93 mg·g−1. ZIF-8/FA had better stability and more mesoporous volume than that of ZIF-8 and exhibited higher rate for adsorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution than FA and ZIF-8, suggesting an adsorption synergy between ZIF-8 and FA. The adsorption mechanism of heavy metal ions by ZIF-8/FA includes surface adsorption, pore adsorption, and ion exchange. The obtained ZIF-8/FA nanocomposite can solve the encountered problems of FA for low adsorption and the difficult recycling of ZIF-8 for their small size, high cost, and poor stability.
