zeoliteAny member of a family of hydrated aluminosilicate minerals that have a framework structure enclosing interconnected cavities occupied by large metal cations (positively charged ions)—generally sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and barium—and water molecules. The ease of movement of ions and water within the framework allows reversible dehydration and cation exchange, properties that are exploited in water softeners and molecular sieves for pollution control, among other uses.

contains high-surface-area zeolites that are highly porous and preferentially adsorb smaller, odor-causing molecules, especially ammonium-based and polar compounds. 4) A modified natural zeolite (5) may also work in this application. We found that on exposure to the same mass of a specific type of particulate, the oxidative burst increases with decreasing particle size but remains relatively independent of zeolite composition. |
