Several materials have been studied for the adsorption of ammonium ion from synthetic solution. Zeolite is having the highest adsorption capacity (3.160 mg/g) with fast reaction time followed by chitosan (2.5770 mg/g). Activated carbon derived from Tarap (Artocarpus odoratissimus) and rice husk shows better performance than the low-cost bleached fibres
