In vitro comparison of zeolite (clinoptilolite) and activated carbon as ammonia absorbents in fish farming – In vitro Comparison of Zeolite (Clinoptilolite) and Activated Carbon as Ammonia Absorbants in Fish Culture
H. Emadi, J.E. Nezhad and H. Pourbagher Abstract Conditioned activated carbon was compared with zeolite (clinoptilolite) at different salinities, total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) levels and time intervals. The dosages of both materials were the same, i.e. 10 ppt. Different salinities ranging from 0 to 30 ppt were prepared in 24 three-litre plastic buckets. Concentrations of…
