Zeolite is a microporous, crystalline aluminosilicate mineral composed of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen atoms. It has a three-dimensional framework with interconnected cavities that allow ion exchange and adsorption.

• General Formula: Mn+ 1/n(AlO₂)− (SiO₂)x ･y H₂O

• Pore Size: 0.3–0.8 nm

• Solubility: Insoluble in water but capable of ion exchange

• Color: Typically white or light gray, but varies depending on composition

• Structure: Highly porous, allowing selective molecular adsorption.

2. Applications

Zeolite is widely used in various industries due to its adsorption, ion-exchange, and catalytic properties:

• Water Purification: Removes heavy metals and contaminants from water.

• Agriculture: Enhances soil quality and improves nutrient retention.

• Animal Feed Additive: Absorbs toxins and improves digestion in livestock.

• Petrochemical Industry: Used in gas separation and as a catalyst.

• Cosmetics & Health: Applied in detox products and skincare formulations.

3. Other Names

Zeolite is also known as:

• Molecular Sieve

• Aluminum Silicate

• Clinoptilolite (One of the most common commercial types)

• Zeolite Powder.
