Zeolite Properties and Stability

Jan 01, 2022

No decomposition if used and stored in accordance with specifications, no known hazardous reactions, avoid oxidizing agents. Soluble in strong alkali. Is a high silica zeolite. It has a unique pore structure, high catalytic activity, thermal stability and acid resistance.

Zeolite is a general term for minerals in the zeolite family, which is a water-containing alkali or alkaline earth metal aluminosilicate mineral. More than 40 kinds of natural zeolites have been found all over the world, among which the most common ones are clinoptilolite, mordenite, chabazite, erionite, zeolite, heuerite, hazelite, pyroxene and analcite. Clinoptilolite and mordenite have been extensively utilized. The zeolite minerals belong to different crystal systems, and the crystals are mostly fibrous, hairy, columnar, and a few are plate or short columnar.

Zeolite has ion exchange, adsorption separation, catalysis, stability, chemical reactivity, reversible dehydration, electrical conductivity, etc. Zeolite is mainly produced in fissures or amygdala of volcanic rocks, coexisting with calcite, chalcedony, and quartz; it is also produced in pyroclastic sedimentary rocks and hot spring deposits.
