According to a new definition, zeolites are clathrates or inclusion compounds, able to host various guest substances in their versatile structure. The most industrially used natural zeolite is clinoptilolite. Materials designed using components derived from biological sources such as collagen, chitosan, three-dimensional polymeric hydrogels like surfactants, alginate, plant proteins and polysaccharides have been investigated thoroughly for use in environmental remediation. These biomaterials possess some advantages over their synthetic counterparts, such as their capability to be environmentally viable and thus recognized by the living microenvironment. Using mostly biomimetic sol-gel method, we also prepared the octadecylammonium (ODA surfactant) coated zeolite, chitosan and alginate composed zeolites as well as lately iron oxihydroxide immobilized zeolite, which showed improved
adsorption properties to broaden range of pollutants. Prophylaxis antibiotic (cefazoline) removal using the aqueous solutions and stationary (batch) system at laboratory was applied to compare several adsorbents like native, ODA- and carbonized zeolite (clinoptilolite tuff), montmorillonite, German commercial GEH, active coke and beringite. The best performance in cefazoline uptake proved especially carbon rich adsorbents and ODA-zeolite.
