Treatment of Underground Water by using Natural Zeolites

The treatment of groundwater became necessary to improve the quality of drinking water and to reduce contaminates from groundwater resources. Because of the high cost of treatment technique, most of the studies turned to decrease the cost of treatment technique of water to find out the cheap and available technique to anyone and anywhere. In this investigation, the natural zeolites was used as an absorbent to reduce the dissolved salts from groundwater and at the same time increasing the quality of drink water. The zeolites was grand and mixed with groundwater sample, the physicochemical parameters such as hardness, Cl-, Na+, K++, Mg+ and Ca+ ions of groundwater sample was analyzed before and after mixing with zeolites. The results recorded and the conclusion was that zeolites have good results to reduce the total hardness and ions of dissolved salts from groundwater and the extra amount of zeolites in the underground water leads to increasing of the reducing of hardness and dissolved ions in the underground water.
