Zeolite Market Definition
Zeolite is a group of naturally occurring and synthetic microporous aluminosilicate minerals characterized by their unique crystalline structure. This structure consists of a framework of silicon, aluminum, and oxygen atoms arranged in a three-dimensional lattice with numerous interconnected cavities and channels. Their ability to selectively adsorb, ion-exchange, and catalyze reactions makes them invaluable in addressing both everyday and complex technological challenges.
The main types of zeolites include natural and synthetic. Natural zeolites are minerals formed from volcanic ash and alkaline water over thousands to millions of years. It is applied for gas separation, odor control, ion exchange, catalysis, adsorbent, oil refining, detergent, artificial grass, animal feed, and others by various end-use industries such as water treatment, agriculture, petrochemicals, waste treatment, air purification, building and construction, nuclear plants, medical and healthcare, home and industrial cleaning, and others.
