Removal of Ammonium ion from wastewater using natural western Azerbaijan zeolite by ion exchange

The purpose of this study was to investigate removal efficiency of Ammonium ion from waste water using the natural western Azerbaijan zeolite by utilizing ion exchange process. Nitrogen in the Ammonium form can have deleterious effects in water resources. Ion exchange by zeolite is an efficient method for removing nitrogen compounds from waste water and effluents. Both batch and continuous (column) experiments were carried out.Additionally, the cation exchange capacity zeolite was determined. These findings show that western Azerbaijan zeolite has appropriate cation exchange capacity can be used for removal Ammonium from waste water
