Sorption of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) ions from aqueous solutions by TSZ350HUA-type coded zeolites was studied. Zeolite-Y was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed-infrared spectroscopy. It was shown that cobalt (II) and nickel (II) were mostly adsorbed from the aqueous medium. The sorption capacity (qe) was determined from the exchange isotherms for the sorption system as a function of metal ion concentrations and it was found to be 24.8 ± 1.9 and 20 ± 0.87 mg/g for cobalt (II) and nickel (II), respectively. The kinetic study provides that the adsorption process obeys the pseudo-second order model, and the optimum conditions for the best recovery of both metals were obtained at 0.05 g (TSZ 350HUA-type) from 10 ml solution at pH 5–6 and contact time of 1.0 h. The obtained result suggests that TSZ350HUA can be used as a good adsorbent for the recovery of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) from the leached waste solution of the spent Ni-MH battery.
