Based on numerous studies, it can be concluded that ZEOSORB® has great potential as effective adsorbent in numerous processes of purification of drinking water and wastewater, such as water softening, the removal of ammonia (from municipal wastewater, wastewater from livestock farms, the barn manure, water from ponds and swimming pools), the removal of nitrogen, the removal of dissolved organic matter and color, the removal of heavy metals (from natural water, acid mine water, industrial wastewater), the removal of radioactive substances from wastewater, desalination seawater and many others. ZEOSORB® performs as polyfunctional sorbent in the wastewater treatment process and it binds a number of harmful components. However, it does not possess the ability of anions adsorption due to negative charge of its aluminosilicate network. Superficial modification of ZEOSORB®, by means of organic modifiers, allows partial neutralization of negative charge of external surface of ZEOSORB® media.

Physical filtration barriers for accumulation or collection of microorganisms in water that endanger human health have been in focus during the last several years. ZEOSORB® will be an ideal collector of pathogens such as giardia, cryptosporidium and other bacteria and their spores. Most of these organisms and their spores are in the size range of 0.5 – 10 micrometers (microns). In contrast, the water permeable pores in ZEOSORB® are mostly smaller than .05 microns; therefore the ZEOSORB® fragment or granule can “surface collect” a high percentage of these microorganisms while the water passes through the ZEOSORB® fragment. All drinking water standards for microorganism pathogens and turbidity can be most easily met using a natural, relatively low-cost material, such as ZEOSORB® rather than “sand” which is chiefly quartz grains.
