Zeolite CAS#1318-02-1
Diverse Forms: Includes both natural and synthetic varieties, with over 190 types discovered globally.
Porous Structure: Contains a dense network of microscopic pores, providing exceptional adsorption and ion-exchange capabilities.
Wide Application Range: Used in water purification, gas separation, catalysis, and agriculture due to its unique properties.
Lightweight: Feels lighter than ordinary rocks, making it easy to handle and transport in industrial applications.
Zeolite is a general term for a large family of framework minerals primarily composed of aluminum silicate. It includes both naturally occurring and synthetic forms. To date, approximately 40 types of natural zeolites have been discovered globally, along with over 150 artificially synthesized varieties. Zeolites are typically light gray in color, though some may appear flesh-red due to mineral content.
When held in the hand, zeolites feel lighter than ordinary rocks because their internal structure contains a dense network of microscopic pores and channels, far more intricate than a honeycomb. This porous structure contributes to their unique adsorption and ion-exchange capabilities, making them widely used in applications such as water purification, gas separation, catalysis, and agriculture.
