This laboratory study presents a novel approach that amalgamates techniques from the fields of biology, physics, chemical engineering, and analytical science for pollutant extraction from freshwater contaminated with copper sulfate. By combining the use of zincreinforced ZSM-5 zeolite (through the physical embedding of zinc metal coarse powder on part of the zeolite surface), a companion rare-earth (neodymium) static super magnet, and/or an accompanying aquacultured faba bean, we provide a timely and novel solution to treat heavily polluted aquatic systems. See Fig. for the experimental setup and design.
