Technical Information

The source identifies the sold filter medium as clinoptilolite, described as a porous aluminosilicate and weakly acidic cation exchanger for water treatment.

Composition or process

  • Clinoptilolite; the source also mentions activated zeolite as another zeolite-filter category.

Applications

  • Water-treatment filter media.

Source-listed specifications

  • Specific gravity: 1.9–2.6 g/cm³; bulk density: 1.6 g/cm³; breakage: ≤0.8%; abrasion: ≤1%; porosity: ≥48%; moisture: ≤1.8%; mud content: ≤1.0%.
  • Ammonia-nitrogen removal: above 95%; turbidity: 65%; COD/manganese removal: above 13%.

Source-listed advantages

  • Positively charged surface, biofilm attachment and strong ammonia-nitrogen exchange capacity; the source compares it favourably with ceramsite.
