Coal fly ash driven zeolites for the adsorptive removal of the ceftazidime drug.

The overall cost and efficiency of an adsorbent material is a major issue in deriving a sorbent into commercial markets. In this study, efforts have been directed to produce adsorption-capable zeolites from the dispensable product of coal power plants, , coal fly ash (CFA). In addition, coal mining water (CW) was used as a direct hydrothermal solvent.
