Preparation of Sorbents Containing Straetlingite Phase from Zeolitic By-Product and Their Performance for Ammonium Ion Removal.

In this study, straetlingite-based sorbents were used for NH ion removal from a synthetic aqueous solution and from the wastewater of an open recirculation African catfish farming system. This study was performed using column experiments with four different filtration rates (2, 5, 10, and 15 mL/min). It was determined that breakthrough points and sorption capacity could be affected by several parameters such as flow rate and mineral composition of sorption materials.

Utilization of ZeoliticWaste in Alkali-Activated Biomass Bottom Ash Blends.

This study aims to investigate the effects of ammonium-bearing zeolitic waste (FCC) on alkali-activated biomass bottom ash (BBA). FCC was obtained from the oil-cracking process in petroleum plants. In this study, two types of production waste were used: biomass bottom ash and ammonium-bearing zeolitic waste.

Removal of ammonium ion from aqueous solutions by using unmodified and HO-modified zeolitic waste.

In the petroleum industry during a catalytic cracking process, the used zeolitic catalyst becomes waste. This article investigated the sorption capacities of ammonium ions from aqueous solutions onto the previously mentioned zeolitic waste by batch experiments. Three types of zeolitic waste were used: unmodified zeolitic waste with two different particle size distributions and HO-modified zeolitic waste.
