In this study, an environment-friendly and sustainable route to convert clay minerals into highly efficient sorbents for organic pollutants and heavy metals removal was reported. Needle-like nanocrystalline zeolites were hydrothermally synthesized from metakaolin (MK) and their properties and effici...
