What is Zeolite Used for
For Water Treatment: It acts as an effective ion exchanger to soften water by removing hardness ions like calcium and magnesium, and to capture heavy metals in wastewater.
In Detergents: It serves as a key phosphate substitute and builder in eco-friendly laundry detergents, enhancing cleaning efficiency.
In Agriculture & Aquaculture: It is used as a soil conditioner to improve nutrient retention and as a water clarifier and ammonia remover in ponds.
For Environmental Protection: It functions as a molecular adsorbent for odor control, gas purification (e.g., removing VOCs), and in nuclear waste treatment.
In Industrial Catalysis: It is widely used as a catalyst or catalyst support in petroleum refining (e.g., fluid catalytic cracking) and chemical synthesis due to its shape-selective properties.
