What are Zeolites? September 8th, 2009
Zeolites are microporous crystalline solids with well-defined structures. Generally they contain silicon, aluminum and oxygen in their framework and cations, water and/or other molecules within their pores. Many occur naturally as minerals, and are extensively mined in many parts of the world. Others are synthetic, and are made commercially for specific uses, or produced by research scientists trying to understand more about their chemistry.
