Department of Biological Environment, Jiyang College of Zhejiang A&F University, Zhuji, China.
Freshwater pearl farming in China generates wastewater high in ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃-N) posing environmental threats. This study explores the use of coal fly ash (CFA), an industrial waste, to synthesize A-type zeolite for effective NH₃-N removal from pearl farming wastewater. The zeolite was prepared via pickling pretreatment and hydrothermal methods, resulting in a material with favorable adsorption properties, including cubic and spherical microstructures, a specific surface area of 17.
