Manufactured Zeolites
Zeolites are high-value adsorbents / catalysts with broad applicability
-
Manufactured zeolites are aluminosilicate minerals with a sponge-like structure (framework)
-
Zeolites are made up of tiny pores that make them useful as adsorbents, catalysts and ultrafine filters
-
Type A zeolites are commonly known as molecular sieves
-
Can be designed to selectively adsorb molecules or ions dependent on their unique construction and can be regenerated repeatedly for re-use
-
Manufactured zeolites act like a magnet that can hold cations, including heavy metals, ammonia, low level radioactive elements, toxins, petrochemicals, many different types of gases and a multitude of various solutions, offering diverse applications
