Abstract

Zeolite-based-fertilizers can be obtained by adsorbing plant nutrients to their porous structure. In this research, the natural zeolite (0-200 μm) from Gordes/Türkiye was combined with NH₄NO₃ in a 1:4 solid ratio and processed at 200 °C for 2-24 hours and characterized with diffrent techniques. The optimal synthesis time was 8 hours, yielding a fertilizer with 5.06% nitrogen content. The zeolite-based-fertilizer exhibited a clinoptilolite structure similar to the raw zeolite but demonstrated a greater percentage of mass loss in the DTA/TGA analyses and distinct nitrate peaks in the FTIR spectra, attributable to ammonium nitrate adsorption. The BET results showed a decrease in the BET surface area after the adsorption of NH₄NO₃ onto natural zeolite, with measured values of 34.56 m²/g for natural zeolite and 19.24 m²/g for zeolite-based-fertilizer. The results indicate successful synthesis of a zeolite-based nitrogen fertilizer with potential compatibility with Green Deal goals. .

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
