Variety of zeolite

Zeolite nature have been found more than 30 kinds, more common well-synthetic zeolite powder supplier, chabazite, calcium, heulandite, sodium zeolite, mordenite, Stilbite, etc., are to calcium, sodium based. How much of their water content varies with ambient temperature and humidity changes. Crystals belong to crystal system with different mineral species varies, with monoclinic and orthorhombic (orthorhombic) majority. Analcime, chabazite often has equiaxed crystal form, heulandite, Stilbite form of a plate, erionite, mordenite acicular or fibrous, phillipsite and boiling Danshuang Jing Hui common. Pure various zeolites are colorless or white, but may be due to a variety of light-colored impurities and mixing. Shiny glass. Cleavage varies with the crystal structure. Mohs hardness medium. The proportion ranged from 2.0 to 2.3, containing barium is up from 2.5 to 2.8. zeolite molecular sieve formed in the epithermal stage, common in extrusive rock pores, also found in hydrothermal deposits and the modern spa deposition. The zeolite may be the action of water by diafiltration to exchange cations, the ingredients sodium, calcium ions can be exchanged with an aqueous solution of potassium and magnesium ions to soften hard water industry. The crystal structure of the zeolite comprises silicon (Al) oxy connected into a three-dimensional tetrahedral framework, grid has a variety of different sizes of holes and channels with large open. Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal ions and water molecules are located in the holes and channels, to contact grid is weak. Different ion exchange on the zeolite structure has little effect, but the nature of the 4a zeolite powder so that change. Present in the crystal lattice of different size cavities, can absorb or filter elements of different sizes other substances. Industrially often as a molecular sieve, to purify or separate components of the mixed material, such as gas separation, oil purification, treatment of industrial pollution.
