zeolite as a means of ammonium recovery

Zeolites in wheat, following the processing of secondary cheese whey. [Study]

In the most recently published study by the University of Patras, the effectiveness of natural zeolite in removing ammonium ions from synthetic wastewater and from secondary whey was investigated. Subsequently, the use of this zeolite as a fertiliser in wheat cultivation was investigated, given that zeolite can release bound nitrogen into the soil.
