One of the strategies to realize a nitrogen cycle society, we attempted to recover ammonium ions from industrial wastewater, especially sewage water with adsorbent materials. We have developed an adsorbent with high ammonium selectivity based on copper hexacyanoferrate and granulated it as pellets. Using a compact column system filled with this granule adsorbent, ammonium ions were recovered from sewage containing 1000–1500 mg-NH₄⁺/L ammonium ions. Despite the coexistence of many metal ions, the adsorbent selectively and stably adsorbed ammonium ions. Furthermore, it was shown that the saturated adsorbent can be regenerated by flowing a potassium ion solution through a column adsorbent to desorb ammonium ions. In other words, the column can be used repeatedly, and there was almost little deterioration in adsorption even after 250 cycles. In addition, it was shown that by increasing the number of stages of this column, it is possible to sufficiently reduce the ammonium in the adsorbent solution and recover the concentrated ammonium solution.
