Industrial Applications for Zeolites

Natural zeolites are the least-known treasures for environmental pollution control, separation science and technology. Natural zeolites are volcanic minerals with unique characteristics. Their chemical structure classifies them as hydrated aluminosilicates, comprised of hydrogen, oxygen, aluminum, and silicon, arranged in an interconnecting lattice structure. The arrangement of these elements in a zeolite crystal gives rise to a honeycomb framework with consistent diameter connecting channels that vary in size from 2.5 to 5.0 angstroms, depending on the type of zeolite mineral. This unique structure makes zeolites different from "other" aluminosilicates (kaolin, bentonite, etc.)
