Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. They occur naturally but are also produced industrially on a large scale. Hundreds of unique zeolite frameworks have been identified. Uses include
- largest single use: global laundry detergent market
- as ion-exchange beds in water purification, softening, and other applications.
- in chemistry, zeolites are used to separate molecules
- precise and specific separation of gases, including the removal of H2O, CO2 and SO2 from low-grade natural gas streams. Upgrading of biogas
- oxygen concentrators (applications in medicine, metallurgy, energy generation, etc.)
- energy applications (e.g. solar thermal): heat transfer fluid
- in agriculture: as water moderators (slow release)
- as catalysts and sorbents.
