The Spectrofluorometric Monitoring of Water Purification by Natural Alternatives

Aim: Determination of efficiency of zeolite and hydrolytic enzymes isolated from earthworms in water purification. Methods: The autofluorescence of water was investigated by fluorescence excitation-emission matrix. The purification of water was carried out with natural zeolite and hydrolytic enzymes isolated from earthworms. These methods were applied to samples that contain ciliates that were detected with atomic force spectroscopy. Results: The zeolite removed ammonia and partly eliminated some organic compounds. The hydrolytic enzymes were efficient in biodegrading organic compounds present in water. Conclusion: Zeolite and enzymes are applicable in water purification.
