Zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals with a three-dimensional and open crystal structure made from the elements of oxygen, zinc and aluminium. These can either be synthesised industrially from aluminosilicate gels or mined from volcanic rocks. Zeolites are largely present in oceans as well as metamorphic rocks. Additionally, these are known as molecular sieve as they are capable of ion-exchange and reversible dehydration. Other than this, zeolites are capable of holding cation and ... Read more
