The sorption ability of zeolite was enhanced through thermal activation by using furnace. In this study we obtained the optimum condition of activation is 225 °C for 3 h. The sorption effectiveness was determined through measurement the reduction of salinity (Rs) and efficiency of reduction (η). The highest value of Rs and η are 3.2 ppt and 9.14%, respectively at 7.5 g of sorbent dose. Effectiveness of desalination process can be enhanced through the increase of zeolite dose. Natural zeolite from Sukabumi possess great potential as low cost sorbent material for seawater desalination.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Low cost sorbents,Natural zeolites,Optimum conditions,salinity,Seawater desalination,Sorbent materials,Sorption ability,Thermal activation[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]desalination,natural zeolite,salinity,seawater,sorbent[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2017.03.002[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
