摘要
The exchange and release properties of the natural phillipsite tuff from the Aritain area in Jordan were evaluated by studying the exchange properties of this natural zeolite in the NH4+-NA(+) system. Exchange isotherms at 18, 35, and 50 degrees C showed that phillipsite exchanged NH4+ preferably over Na+ at all temperatures. However, the selectivity coefficient for NH4+ decreased with decreasing temperature. The release of NH4+ from phillipsite saturated with ammonium sulfate took place in two stages characterized by different SO42-:NH4+ ratios. Aritain phillipsite from NE Jordan could be processed and used as NH4+ slow-release fertilizers. The use of NH4+-phillipsite tuff offers an option to the widely used soluble NH4-fertilizers in agciculture to avoid environmental problems associated with nitrogen contamination of surface water and groundwater.
