Description

Uses of zeolites filter media:

Zeolites are widely used as ion-exchange beds in domestic and commercial water purification, softening, and other applications. In chemistry, zeolites are used to separate molecules (only molecules of certain sizes and shapes can pass through), and as traps for molecules so they can be analyzed.

Zeolites remove ammonium ions by means of ion-exchange and, at higher concentration, adsorption. The ammonium ions present in the wastewater are exchanged for sodium ions.
