- Technology Application
- Ammonia absorption, fish preservation
- Detailed Technology Description
- USF inventors have developed a user friendly method for controlling the levels of ammonia while preserving bait and stored fish in fresh and sea water using naturalmaterials. This is achieved through a treated, functionalized zeolite, specifically chabazite, which is a microporous mineral compound with a high ammonium absorption capacity. Chabazite is readily available in many areas around the world and its porous structure can accommodate a wide variety of cations such as Na+, Ca+, K+, and Mg+.
- *Abstract
