Use of modified Heulandite by cationic surfactant as new adsorbent for removing anions from recirculation aquaculture system
Water treatment in recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) is one of the main methods in water quality management. In organic Ion exchange materials are used only for ammonia adsorption in rearing systems. Zeolites have negative charge in their surfaces and this property capable them to remove cations and metal ions. At this study by using a cationic surfactant (Tetradecyltrimethylamonium bromide) clinoptilolite surface for removing nitrogenous compound is changed. Studied zeolite was analysed by XRD and XRF. Results indicated that Heulandit was the main element in the sample. Experiment was done at three replicates under environmental conditions (temperature (10, 15 and 20) and pH (6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8)). Results indicated that environmental factors influenced absorption capacity. Results showed that increased in temperature have significant effect on nitrate and nitrite removal by SMZ (P<0/05).Temperature cause Increasing in anion mobility and finally anion adsorption. pH have significant effect on nitrate adsorption (P<0/05) while any regular trend didn’t observe about nitrite. Increasing pH cause increase in ionization degree and adsorption. Results indicated that other factor such as anion concentration, existing other anions and counter ions impressed adsorption.
