Abstract: The adsorption mechanism of nickel on natural Slovak zeolite, a regional low-cost material, was studied in a batch system. The effect of various initial concentrations of metal ions in the adsorption process was tested. The highest adsorption efficiency (almost 70%) was reached at a concentration of 50 mg/L. The lowest efficiency was determined at a concentration of 350 mg/L (approx. 19%). Sorption data have been interpreted in terms of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Freundlich model with regression coefficient 0.83 better fitted for the batch experiments. The change of pH in equilibrium showed to ion-exchange reaction. The conductivity increases in all cases. Due to relatively low efficiency in higher concentration of aquatic solutions, further research and modification of zeolite is needed.
