The migration of 32 elements from natural zeolitized tuffs from the Beli Plast and Golobradovo deposits (Bulgaria) was determined in ultrapure, tap, mineral, and coal mine waters in order to evaluate their desorption and adsorption properties. The tuffs are Ca-K-Na and contain clinoptilolite (90 and 78wt.%, respectively), plagioclase, sanidine, opal-CT, mica, quartz, montmorillonite, goethite, calcite, ankerite, apatite, and monazite. The desorption properties are best revealed during the treatment of ultrapure, tap, and mineral water, whereas the adsorption properties are best manifested in coal mine water treatment. The concentrations of Al, Si, Fe, Na, Mn, F, K, Pb, and U increase in the treated ultrapure, tap, and mineral water, while the content of K, Be, Pb, and F increase in the treated mine water. The tuffs show selective partial or complete adsorption of Na, Mg, Sr, Li, Be, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Pb, U, and SO42&minus:. They demonstrate the ability to neutralize acidic and alkaline pH. Sources of F are presumed to be clinoptilolite and montmorillonite. The usage of zeolitized tuffs for at-home drinking water treatment has to be performed with caution due to the migration of potentially toxic and toxic elements.
