AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating a type of zeolite (zeolite 13X) using basalt through a process that combines alkali fusion and hydrothermal synthesis.
- The zeolite was thoroughly analyzed using techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption at low temperatures.
- The results showed that this basalt-based zeolite effectively adsorbs ammonia nitrogen and phosphate phosphorus, making it a potentially effective solution for removing these pollutants from water.
Article Abstract
In this work, we prepared basalt based nanostructured zeolite 13X by alkali fusion and hydrothermal synthesis process. The sample prepared was characterized using XRD, SEM, and low-temperature nitrogen analysis. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic characteristics of ammonia nitrogen (NH₄-N) and phosphate phosphorus (PO₄-P) were investigated. It was found that the basalt based nanostructured zeolite 13X showed high adsorption capacities for NH₄-N (75 mg/g) and PO₄-P (25 mg/g) under the experimental conditions used. Our results demonstrate that basalt based zeolite 13X can be a good alternative adsorbent for the simultaneously removal of NH₄-N and PO₄-P from aqueous solution.
