Natural Zeolities

Zeolites are aluminosilicates with a three dimensional framework structure enclosing pores occupied by cation and water molecules, both of which have considerable freedom of movement within certain limits. The ability of zeolites to exchange cation is one of the mere useful of their characteristics. The ion exchange condition of zeolites strongly affects absorption as well as other properties. The application, techniques of identification and evaluation of clinoptilolite, chabazite, mordenite and phillipsite are reviewed.
