Zeolite - a gift of nature

zeolith During the Earth development, the nature gave us a very rare gift, Zeolite. The important part of the Natural Zeolite Zeolite is the crystalline hydrated aluminosilicate of alkaline metals and metals of alkaline earths (Ca, K, Na, Mg) called clinoptilolite.

The clinoptilolite structure is based on a three-dimensional skeleton composed of SiO4- tetrahedrons, which are mutually connected by their oxygen atoms. The silicon atoms are partly substituted by aluminium atoms. The spatial structure contains regularily arranged pores and channels.

The channel dimensions are sufficiently large so that the molecules with the dimension of some tenths of nanometers may penetrate and adsorb into them. In these channels solid, liquid and gaseous matters can be adsorbed.

Simple said: "Clinoptilolite is a magnet for toxic matters like ammonia, lead, mercury, radionuklides, co2, so2 and so on".
