The content of iron ions (Fe⁺² and Fe⁺³) in Jordanian underground water highly exceeds the standard limits in certain places. Since Jordanian water resources are very limited, the removing of these ions by cheap methods is very important. Natural zeolite which is available in Jordan in large amounts is very attractive for this purpose. The objective of this research is to evaluate Jordanian natural zeolite for removing iron ions from underground water. Batch process was used for the evaluation. The concentration of iron ions versus time for different amount of zeolite concentrations and sizes was evaluated. The results indicate that, Jordanian natural zeolite is very effective for removing iron ions from water. The zeolite concentration of about 10g/L is capable of removing almost all iron ions from water in few hours.
