To regenerate zeolite at home, follow these steps:
Rinse the Zeolite: If used for water filtration, rinse the zeolite thoroughly with clean water to remove physical debris and trapped particles.
Soak in Salt Solution (for ion-exchange applications): For ion-exchange zeolites (e.g., those used to remove ammonia or softening water), soak the zeolite in a concentrated sodium chloride (salt) solution for several hours to replace the adsorbed ions.
Rinse Again: After soaking, rinse the zeolite thoroughly to remove excess salt.
Drying (optional): If the zeolite has adsorbed moisture or if it’s used in gas adsorption applications, you can dry the zeolite by spreading it out in a warm, dry location or by lightly heating it in an oven at 150°C (302°F) for a few hours.
Keep in mind that home regeneration might not fully restore industrial-grade adsorption capacity but can extend the zeolite’s usability.
