Adsorption Performance of Ammonia onto Compound Clinoptilolite Filter Material

Abstract:

In order to combine the microbial metabolism characteristics in biological aerated filter (BAF) with the adsorption and ion-exchange ability of natural clinoptilolite to treat sanitary wastewater, the experiment use clinoptilolite powder as main materials to prepare the large specific surface and high porosity spherical compound filter material by adding adhesive and pore-forming agent etc and get better effect on sanitary wastewater treatment.The static adsorption test showed that the adsorb ratios of ammonia-nitrogen is 58.5% when the compound filter material dosage was 100g/L, NH3-N concentration was 100mg/L and the contact time was 40min.The cure fitting of the adsorption isotherm of NH3-N on the compound filter material could be well described by the Langmuir formula and the coefficient of determination is 0.99216.
