Nitrate is an anion of major importance particularly in biological areas. Excessive amounts in water supplies indicate pollution from sewage or agricultural effluents. The effects of excessive quantities of nitrate in water are well known. In this research structural modification of natural clinoptilolite by isomorphic substitution was performed. Isomorphously substituted zeolite was prepar...

Based on various characteristics of zeolite, its utilization in the manufacture of fertilizers with slow-release properties is possible. The objectives of this study are to characterize and utilized nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) slow release fertilizer by using natural zeolite in Indonesia. In this research, zeolite was utilized as a mixture of Slow Release Fertilizer (SRF). Effect o...

this study was accomplished to examine the efficiency of natural zeolite in preventing acute toxicity of total ammonia to huso huso. the study was performed using water static method in 96 hours. fish averaged 46 ? 5 g in weight and 22 ? 4 cm in total length were exposed to four different concentrations (15, 30, 50, 75 mgl-1) of ammonia and a group was considered as control. under stable condit...

This study investigated the stabilization of heavy metals by adding modified fly ash (FA) to contaminated soils, and two similar materials, NaOH-zeolite (ZE) natural zeolite (ZO) were introduced into soils for comparison. Column leaching tests conducted analyze difference effects between three materials. Leaching columns run 6 months, a considerable in was observed. The concentration cadmium (C...

The disproportionate quantity of ammonia presence in water has led to serious drinkable water scarcity worldwide. The abundant source of mineral and superior cations selectivity has made natural zeolite as a good adsorbent for the ammonia removal. This work aims to fabricate natural zeolite based hollow fibre ceramic membrane (HFCM) via extrusion based phase inversion and sintering techniques f...

Natural zeolite was used as a bed medium for plantation of lettuce seedlings and its effects on growth and chemical composition of red tilapia and lettuce were investigated in a pisciponic system. The place of study was the Aquatic Resources Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, at the University Putra Malaysia, in 2002. The mean individual weight and biomass of fish in the treatment w...

rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. in order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...

Ion exchange properties of five different Japanese natural zeolites in seawater were examined. Sodium ions could be reduced by all zeolites, although anions, Cl(-) and SO(4)(2-), in seawater showed barely changes. Natural zeolite desalination treatment mainly depends on the ion exchange between Na(+), K(+) and Mg(2+) in seawater and Ca(2+) in natural zeolite. This study found that mordenite ...
