OriginZeolites are microporous aluminosilicate minerals formed from volcanic ash or synthesized from sodium silicate and aluminum compounds. They are manufactured through hydrothermal crystallization or ion-exchange processes to create uniform pore structures.
Zeolites. Crystalline aluminosilicates, composed of silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3), in various proportions plus metallic oxides. Produced by hydrothermal treatment of a solid aluminosilicate or of a gel obtained by the reaction of sodium hydroxide, alumina hydrate and sodium silicate. The initially obtained product, or a naturally occurring analog, may be partially ion-exchanged to introduce other cations. Specific zeolites are identified by notations indicating crystal structure and predomin
