Natural zeolite characterization for adsorptive coagulation flocculation (ACF) removal of ammonium in drinking water treatment process

The naturally occurring zeolite (N Z01) was characterized and used as an adsorbent for the removal of ammonium (N-NH4+) from water. The characterization results show that the NZ01 is mainly composed of clinoptilolite, quartz and plagioclase and has the cation-exchange capacity (CEC) of 64 cmol/kg. B...
