Among all kinds of contaminants that are found in water facilities, as in stream waters, pond waters, underground water, reserves lake, and stagnant waters, Ammonia is the most dangerous of all for aquatic life and for any human who drinks this water. Ammonia causes rapid eutrophication leading to a build-up of organic and inorganic pollutants and depletion of oxygen reserves, creating health concerns and death of fish.

Zeolite, with its adsorption and adsorption properties, helps remove Ammonia as indicated by many researchers over time. The greater surface area of zeolite helps in better adsorption of Ammonia and than removal by the ion-exchange mechanism. Zeolite can be recycled and reused again and again. The combustion and regeneration process increased the Zeolite ammonia reduction capacity.

Bolan studied that Zeolite can adsorb ammonia and experimented with its recycling and recycled adsorption capacity. They added Zeolite in flowing water streams, and it adsorbed up to 20 milligrams of Ammonium compounds. Clinoptilolite can be used and recovered more than ten times, and its adsorption capacity is not affected but increases.

Clinoptilolite is a cation exchanger that makes it an excellent absorber of Ammonium and its remover. Weatherley and Jorgensen experimented with this property of Zeolite. They examined that recycled Zeolite was more effective in Ammonia reduction. Zeolite ammonia reduction was increased many times and removed it more effectively after recycling. This proves that Zeolite can be used again and again as a water purifier and is cost-friendly.
