<b>Natural Zeolites for Removal of Calcium and Magnesium Ions from Hard Water</b>

This study investigates natural zeolites from Menena Define and Malo Telesa for removing calcium and magnesium from tap water, comparing their performance to a synthetic resin. Characterization showed improved crystallinity and purity after washing. MD zeolite removed 68.7% of calcium under alkaline conditions, while ReSe removed 93.5% of magnesium under acidic conditions. Results highlight the role of pH and material properties in ion removal and support MD zeolite as a cost-effective option for water softening.

Abstract

This study investigates natural zeolites from Menena Define and Malo Telesa for removing calcium and magnesium from tap water, comparing their performance to a synthetic resin. Characterization showed improved crystallinity and purity after washing. MD zeolite removed 68.7% of calcium under alkaline conditions, while ReSe removed 93.5% of magnesium under acidic conditions. Results highlight the role of pH and material properties in ion removal and support MD zeolite as a cost-effective option for water softening.
