“…This partial reduction on NH 3 loss by volatilization occurs by the control of retention of ammonium ion by zeolite minerals (Bartz and Jones 1983;Ferguson and Pepper 1987). Previous results obtained by Crespo (1989), Bouzo et al (1994), He et al (2002), , Bernardi et al (2011), andWerneck et al (2012) showed beneficial effects of natural zeolite using together with urea.…”

“…Besides retaining large quantities of ammonium ion, these minerals also interfere with nitrification (Bartz Downloaded by [Simon Fraser University] at 10:30 18 November 2014 andJones 1983;Fergunson and Pepper 1987). The increased efficiency of N utilization when urea is used together with zeolite was demonstrated by Crespo (1989), Bouzo et al (1994), He et al (2002), , and Bernardi et al (2011) with results that achieved increased NUE, N uptake, and dry-matter yield and reduction of losses by ammonia volatilization.…”

Nitrogen (N) loss by ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization is the main factor for poor efficiency of urea fertilizer applied to the soil surface. Losses can be suppressed by addition of zeolite minerals to urea fertilizer. The objective of this study was to evaluate ammonia volatilization from soil and dry-matter yield and nitrogen levels of Italian ryegrass.A greenhouse experiment was carried out with the treatments of urea, urea incorporated into soil, urea + urease inhibitor, urea + zeolite, ammonium nitrate, and unfertilized treatment. Ammonia was captured by a foam absorber with a polytetrafluoroethylene tape. There were few differences between zeolite and urease inhibitor amendments concerning NH 3 volatilization from urea. Results indicate that zeolite minerals have the potential to improve the N-use efficiency and contributed to increasing N uptake. Zeolite and urea mixture reduced 50% the losses by volatilization observed with urea.

“…In a field experiment Bernardi et al [23] evaluated dry matter yield and nutritional levels of nitrogen of silage corn fertilized with urea + zeolite. Treatments comprised two types of stilbite zeolite (natural and concentrated), four levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100 and 200 kg ha À1 ) and four ratios of zeolite (25%, 50% and 100% of N level).…”

Dedicated to Prof. Carmine Colella on the occasion of his 70th birthday. a b s t r a c tThis report describes the characterization and application of the Brazilian zeolitic sedimentary rocks as a slow plant-nutrient fertilizer and soil conditioner. The characterization of the head samples showed that it is composed of the zeolite stilbite intertwined with a smectic clay mineral, mixed with quartz. A lowcost quartz separation gravitational technique was used to concentrate the mineral. An enrichment of concentrated natural zeolite was carried out by adding KNO 3 , K 2 HPO 4 and H 3 PO 4 + apatite. These materials were tested with Rangpur lime rootstock and other with four successive crops grown on the same substrate: lettuce, tomato, rice, and Andropogon grass. The results indicated that N, P and K enriched zeolite was an adequate slow-release source of nutrients to plants increasing 20% of crop production and also improving products quality. Other green house and field experiments with concentrated zeolite applied with urea showed 8% of reduction on losses of ammonia volatilization and improving 5% the corn dry matter yield. Concentrated zeolite used as a sand soil amendment also increased at least 10% of soil water retention and 15% of available water capacity.

“…Only a few studies [43][44][45][46][47][48] have examined the use of saturated zeolite as a potential fertilizer replacement, and these mainly used nutrient-rich aqueous solutions to saturate zeolite with nitrogen and phosphorus. For example, (a) saturated zeolite with phosphorus [43,45] that increased the growth of lettuce, tomato, rice, and Andropogon grass by 20%; (b) saturated zeolite with urea [44] that increased silage corn's dry-matter leaf production; (c) saturated zeolite with potassium nitrate [46] that increased lettuce yield; (d) saturated zeolite with ammonium and potassium [47] to increase spinach yield; and (e) zeolite enriched with cations in soilless cucumber cultures [48].…”

The efficiency of natural zeolite to treat second cheese whey (SCW) and remove ammonium from artificial wastewater (AWW) was examined. Since zeolite has been reported to improve nitrogen availability in soils, its effect on wheat plant growth was also examined. Continuing a previous study using batch reactors, results are presented concerning experiments in fixed-bed columns under continuous operation. Results from the continuous flow column experiments using AWW and zeolite (2.0–2.8 mm) indicated that low flow rates (4 mL/min and 8 mL/min) did not significantly affect zeolite adsorption ability, while maximum zeolite adsorption capacity reached 15.30 mg NH4+-N/g. Finally, the effect of zeolite saturated with NH4+-N on plant growth was examined. The application of saturated zeolite affected significantly wheat plant growth and resulted in faster growth and higher biomass production.
