Comparative Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Zeolite Filter Performance in the Purification of Groundwater

Zeolite materials are among the relatively cheap and readily available for wastewater treatment. However, performance of zeolite-based systems can be highly affected by material properties. In this study, treatment system based on natural zeolite from Chankanai mines in Kazakhstan was compared with a synthetic purification groundwater. Water quality indices were also developed set selected water parameters to further assess state raw groundwater effluents treated zeolite. The lowest removal efficiency (30%) observed zinc, while (36%) arsenic. With turbidity beryllium, we maximum (100%) zeolite, whereas turbidity, highest When samples put through system, 50% above obtained 27 (79.4%) out 34 examined. On other hand, when more than attained 30 (88.2%) studied. aggregated index 3278.24, falling “water unsuitable drinking” category. effluent generated 144.82 as index, “poor water” Synthetic 94.79 “good Across board, it shown that outperformed according number parameters. findings study offer substantial knowledge used develop efficient technologies.
