“…At last, it has to be pointed out that the comparison of two substrates containing different rates of raw materials was introduced with the intent of promoting nutrient adsorption to the ion exchange capacity of the zeolite. In fact, this material is known for being capable to retain nutrients and reduce their leaching [47][48][49]. However, in the present work, this ability of zeolite was not confirmed, and actually slightly increased release of P and K (Table 4), as it was the overall salt content (i.e., EC; cfr Figure 3).…”

In bioretention ponds proposed to manage urban runoff, floating elements with anchored macrophytes plants improve nutrient and pollutants removal and provide aesthetic benefits. To prompt the establishment and initial growth of plants in floating elements with substrate, the application of Osmocote (a controlled-release fertilizer) in tablet form was proposed. In a confined environment, eight treatments were compared, combining two substrates (peat and zeolite at a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 v/v), two levels of fertilization (without or with addition of Osmocote plus tablets; 5 g plant−1), and the presence or absence of Mentha aquatica L. plants. For about 16 weeks, the amount and quality of water, along with plant growth and nutrient content, were monitored. The results showed better plant growth when Osmocote was supplied, with no effect of the substrate. The presence of the plant produced the almost total uptake of the nutrients contained in the tap water and released by the fertilizer. This indicates that the use of a controlled release fertilizer can improve plant growth without compromising water quality, hence being a valuable solution to promote plant establishment usable as routine practice when a bioretention basin is vegetated with floating elements with substrate.

“…Based on polarization electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis it was possible to evidence a reduction of corrosion current up to 4 orders of magnitude as compared to uncoated substrate and a high The zeolites consequently possess a regular shaped micro-porosity, with molecular dimension, which makes the zeolite of fundamental importance and widely used in the chemical industry for adsorbent, catalytic, or ion exchange processes [2]. Although their main application is as a catalyst in the oil and petrochemical sector, they are used in other industrial sectors (e.g., agriculture, detergents, water treatment) [29][30][31], as well as a molecular sieve in separation membranes [32].…”

Research activity concerning nanoporous zeolites has grown considerably in recent decades. The structural porosity of zeolites provides versatile functional properties such as molecular selectivity, ion and molecule storage capacity, high surface area, and pore volume which combined with excellent thermal and chemical stability can extend its application fields in several industrial sectors. In such a context, anti-corrosion zeolite coatings are an emerging technology able to offer a reliable high performing and environmental friendly alternative to conventional chromate-based protective coatings. In this article, a focused overview on anti-corrosion performances of sol-gel composite zeolite coatings is provided. The topic of this review is addressed to assess the barrier and self-healing properties of composite zeolite coating. Based on results available in the literature, a property–structure relationship of this class of composites is proposed summarizing, furthermore, the competing anti-corrosion active and passive protective mechanisms involved during coating degradation. Eventually, a brief summary and a future trend evaluation is also reported.

“…The region of Deccan plateau in Black soil region and Indo Gangetic plain region contain the 98% and 2% of the area respectively under the zeolite in India which is approximately 2.8 million [3]. In western India particularly Pune, Nashik, Mumbai, Baroda are having zeolite deposition in Sahyandri mountains [4].…”

“…High CEC of zeolite and more selectivit of NH 4 + toward zeolite can help in reduction of leaching [7], denitrification and ammonia volatisation losses in coarse texture and low rice soil. Zeolite mineral is also stored NH 4 + in canal and cavity network. NH 4 + ion in zeolite is released slowly which continuously uptake by plant for more yield and it also help in improving NUE in rice crop.…”

The pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate effect of different levels of nitrogen and zeolite on soil properties in rice under greenhouse condition during kharif 2018-19. The investigation showed that soil bulk density was decrease from 1.5 to 1.02, 1.24 and 1.29 g cc-1 by the zeolite application at 9, 6, and 3 t ha-1 respectively. Water holding capacity of soil was increased from 43.53 to 55.49% with different levels of zeolites. Cation exchange capacity of soil significantly increased by 50.45, 44.54 and 29.22% with the application of zeolite at 9, 6 and 3 t ha-1, respectively. Highest value of soil pH and EC were 7.6 and 1.27 dS m -1observed in 9 t ha -1 zeolite treatment. Fertility status of soil i.e. available nitrogen and available phosphorus content also improved by the application of zeolite at different rates.
