1. Ammonia is generated in large amounts in many places 

Ammonia appears in many parts of our daily life and industrial activities, such as: 

• Livestock farming (urine and manure from cows, pigs, and chickens) 

• Food waste processing and wastewater from food factories 

• Sewage treatment plants 

• Oil refining and chemical manufacturing 

• Pulp and textile factories 

In other words, ammonia is produced in large quantities across agriculture, food processing, waste treatment, and industrial sectors. 

 

2. Problems with current ammonia adsorbents 

To remove ammonia, the following materials are commonly used today: 

• Granular activated carbon 

• Ion exchange resins 

However, these materials have several weaknesses: 

• Poor performance in water (especially activated carbon, which does not adsorb ammonia well) 

• Regeneration requires chemicals or complicated procedures 

• Performance declines after repeated use 

• The materials themselves are expensive 

This means they are costly, have limited durability, and do not work well in water. 

 

3. Pellicola avoids most of these weaknesses 

Pellicola significantly improves on the problems found in existing adsorbents. 

✔ Strong hydrophilicity 

It works well in water and can effectively adsorb ammonia. → Ideal for sewage treatment and food waste processing. 

✔ Can be regenerated many times 

It maintains performance even after repeated use. → Greatly reduces running costs. 

✔ Made from natural zeolite, so it is inexpensive 

Low material cost makes it suitable for large-scale use. → Perfect for livestock farming and agriculture, where large quantities are needed. 

✔ Chemically stable and durable 

It withstands high concentrations of ammonia and harsh industrial environments. → Suitable for oil refining and chemical plants.
