Cost–effective microwave rapid synthesis of zeolite NaA for removal of methylene blue

In this study, microwave rapid synthesized NaA (NaAmw) was used to adsorb a methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption was optimized under four independent variables including: pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, and ageing time based on central composite design (CCD) with...
