It provides a source of slowly released potassium. If previously loaded with ammonium, the zeolite can serve a similar function in the slow release of nitrogen. Zeolites can also act as water moderators, in which they will absorb up to 55% of their weight in water and slowly release it under the plant's demand. This property can prevent root rot and moderate drought cycles.(source:wikipedia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1328\" data-start=\"1298\"\u003eOdour and ammonia control.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1331\" data-start=\"1328\"\u003eThey are also used around livestock, manure, and similar systems because they can adsorb ammonia, which helps reduce odour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacture of Slow Release Fertilisers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZeoClin is used in the manufacture of slow release fertilizers, helping to prevent the leaching of excess nutrients into watercourses, thus reducing problems such as nitrogen pollution and eutrophication, as well as reducing the quantity of fertiliser required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLand Remediation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remediation of contaminated land is an increasingly important issue in many regions of the world. Traditional methods of remediation have included soil washing and soil removal, which are both expensive and disruptive to the environment. An alternative approach is to create soil conditions which immobilise contaminants whilst providing the nutrients and water holding capacity necessary for plant growth. Due to its ability to adsorb a suite of heavy metal contaminants, ZeoClin is already playing an important role in this new technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"414\"\u003eWater and wastewater filtration.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"417\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNatural zeolite is widely used as a filter medium because it can exchange and trap positively charged ions, especially ammonium, and it can also help remove some other dissolved contaminants.

In aquaria, zeolites can be used to adsorb ammonia and other nitrogenous compounds. However, due to the high affinity of some zeolites for calcium, they may be less effective in hard water and may deplete calcium. Zeolite filtration is used in some marine aquaria to keep nutrient concentrations low for the benefit of corals adapted to nutrient-depleted waters.
