Investigation of Ammonium Saturation and Desorption Conditions of Clinoptilolite Type Zeolite in Aquarium Conditions

Bu çalışmada, doğal bir filtrasyon materyali olan klinoptilolit türü zeolitin, akvaryum yaşamının kontrol altında tutulması için zorunlu olan parametrelerden amonyumun adsorpsiyonunu, doygunluğa ulaşmasını ve desorpsiyonunu belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Akvaryum suyunda başlangıçta Z1: 20 mg/l TAN ve Z2: 40 mg/l TAN olarak belirlenen konsantrasyonların, deneme sonunda Z1'de 10 mg/l TAN ve Z2'de 24 mg/l TAN konsantrasyonlarına kadar adsorplandığı saptanmıştır. Zeolitlerin doygunluğa ulaştığı bu safhadan sonra desorpsiyon sistemi düzenlenerek 5 litrelik akvaryumlarda 3 tekerrürlü 2 grup oluşturulmuştur. Beş günlük araştırma süresince her gün aynı saatte (10.00) su parametreleri belirlenmiştir. Denemenin başlangıcında Z1 ve Z2 gruplarında 0,4 ± 0,00 mg/l TAN ortalama değerleri, deneme sonunda Z1 ve Z2 gruplarında TAN değerleri sırasıyla 1,55 ± 0,176 mg/l (%15,5) ve 2,153 ± 0,27 mg/l (%13,5) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada elde edilen veriler değerlendirildiğinde, zeolitin doygunluğa ulaştığı zaman, tutulan amonyum miktarı ile orantılı olarak desorpsiyon yaptığı tespit edilmiştir. Yoğun akuakültür sistemleri veya akvaryum koşullarında, bu veriler dikkate alınarak, belirli sürelerde zeolitin yeniden aktifleştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

Akvaryum Koşullarında Kinoptilolit Türü Zeolitin Amonyum Doygunluğunun ve Desorpsiyon Koşullarının İncelenmesi

In this research, it was aimed to determine the adsorption, saturation reaching and desorption effects of ammonium, which is one of the parameters that should be kept in control for aquarium life, by clinoptilolite type zeolite which is a natural filtration material. In the aquarium water, Z1: 20 mg/l TAN and Z2: 40 mg/l TAN concentrations were determined to have adsorption up to Z1: 10 mg/l TAN and Z2: 24 mg/l TAN concentration at the end of the experiment period. After this phase, where zeolites had reached saturation, desorption system was created, and 2 groups were formed with 5-liter research aquariums and 3 repetitions. During the five-days test, water parameters were determined daily and at the same time of day (10.00). At the beginning of the experiment, mean values of 0.4 ± 0.00 mg / l TAN in Z1 and Z2 groups were determined at the end of the experiment as 1.55 ± 0.176 mg/l (15.5%) and 2.153 ± 0.27 mg/l (13.5%) TAN in Z1 and Z2 groups, respectively. When the data obtained in this study were evaluated, zeolite was determined to make desorption periodically in proportion with the amount of retained ammonium, when it reached the saturation. In intensive aquaculture systems or aquarium conditions, recondition of zeolite for necessary periods is recommended to be performed by considering these data
