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 experiment was designed to characterize the effects of size and concentration of an iranian clinoptilolite zeolite on the growth officus benjamina (starlight) in peat base media. ficus benjamina was stock rooted and grown in a peat consisting perlite (2: 1 v/v) (p: pe), zeolite (10, 20, 30 and 40 v/v %, two sizes 0.5-3 mm and 3-8 mm) instead of peat in p: pe (2: 1 v/v) media. ficus benjami...

A study of the suitable operational conditions for the regeneration of exhausted homoionic natural zeolite with ammonium was carried out. Laboratory-scale columns using NaCl solutions with concentrations of 2 and 4 mol/L and hydraulic loadings of 4, 6 and 8 bed volumes per hour (BV/h) were assessed. For both NaCl concentrations studied, the hydraulic load of 6 BV/h showed the highest ammonia ni...

In the research described in this paper, studied was sorption capacity of natural and ferric modification of zeolite tuff containing mineral clinoptilolite from the Nižný Hrabovec deposit to remove potentially toxic metals (ionic forms of chromium, nickel, copper and aluminium) from their water solutions. We reported that the Fe (III) zeolite has an enhanced ability to sorption of Cu (II), and ...

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...

Article history: Received on: 05/01/2015 Revised on: 22/01/2015 Accepted on: 07/02/2015 Available online: 27/02/2015 The purpose of current study was to compare the influence on sanitary hygienic parameters of water in recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) using natural zeolite and macrophytes Lemna minor and Elodea canadensis like a part of its filtration system with the microbiological indi...

background nowadays, adsorption techniques are widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants from water. objectives the aim of this study was to remove ametryn from water solutions by natural zeolite nanoparticles from the semnan region of iran. materials and methods for this purpose zeolite nanoparticles were synthesized from natural zeolite using planetary ball-mill. the zeolite nanopar...

the purpose of this study was to find a relatively inexpensive method for removal of arsenate and arsenite from drinking water. the capability of iranian natural clinoptilolites, relevant synthetic zeolites a and p and iron(п) modified of them was investigated for the uptake of arsenic anions from drinking water. data obtained from ion-exchange using batch (static) technique showed that among t...

Calcium Oxide (CaO) loaded on zeolite was categorized as a heterogeneous catalyst. The utilization of CaO catalyst could be implemented in catalytic pyrolysis enhance gaseous production. In this paper, CaSO4.2H2O is an active site embedded natural zeolite, and the activity CaO-Zeolite synthesized by sonochemical impregnation-assisted drying process calcination. stirrer impregnation method used ...

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...
