Type of study / information:
Sewage treatment

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Automatically generated during migration to IUCLID 6, no data available
IUPAC Name:
Automatically generated during migration to IUCLID 6, no data available
Details on test material:
- Zeolite A (Sasil, sodium aluminium silicate), doped with indium to render zeolites accessible to neutron activation analysis.
- Chemical name: Zeolite, cuboidal, crystalline, synthetic, non-fibrous
- Framework: cuboidal
- Related CAS No. 1318-02-1

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The average overall removal rate observed in the Büsnau sewage treatment plant is 96%. 21% of the influent zeolite A are retained in the sand trap, 42% in the primary clarifier, and 33% in the biological treatment.
