Question

Write a short note on zeolites.

Answer 1

hey !!



These positive ions are rather loosely held and can readily be exchanged for others in a contact solution. Some of the more common mineral zeolites are analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite, heulandite, natrolite, phillipsite, and stilbite. An example of the mineral formula of a zeolite is: Na2Al2Si3O.Zeolites are widely used as ion-exchange beds in domestic and commercial water purification, softening, and other applications. In chemistry, zeolites are used to separate molecules (only molecules of certain sizes and shapes can pass through), and as traps for molecules so they can be analyzed.

Big Health Benefits of Zeolite

Answer 2

What is Zeolites?

A shape-selective catalyst having Honeycomb structure which permit only selective molecules.

Examples:

• ZSM-5
• Linde-A (synthetic)
• Faujasite (natural)

Application of Zeolites:

1. Acts as water softener & selective absorbents.
2. Used as "ions-exchanger" in softening of hard water.
3. For cracking of Hydrocarbons & Isomerization.
