Abstract
Laboratory batch experiments were conducted to investigate the sorption of nitrate from aqueous solutions using hydrothermally synthesized and surface modified zeolite nano particles. The ability of surface modification with hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (HDTMA) and Dioctadecyldimethyl ammonium (ADOD) greatly enhance the sorption and slow release of nitrate. The slow release tendency of the modified materials has also been studied through Thin Layers in Funnels and Soil Column Analytical Test. The synthesized materials were characterized by different instrumental techniques viz. X-ray diffraction, FTIR, SEM, EDS, TEM, and TGA.
