Hard-core/zeolitized-shell beads obtained by surface zeolitization of activated clay particles

This work presents a novel and cost-effective procedure that improves the reactivity of kaolinitic clay particles toward the generation of millimetric hard-core/zeolitized-shell units. The obtained particulate material is ready to use as ion exchanger beads in a fixed adsorption bed. Starting from p...
