ZeolitE

Natural zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates originating from volcanic rocks with unique adsorptive cation-exchange and catalytic properties. Zeolites are microporous silicate minerals that are naturally found in volcanic rocks. The term zeolites derived from the Greek word zeo-peck and word lithos-rock.

Clinoptilolite zeolite has a crystal structure. The crystal grid is composed of SiO4 tetrahedra and AIO4 crystals that make up the skeleton, between which the channels and cavities in which they are bound ions of K, Na and Ca 2+, which can be easily exchanged with other ions in the environment in which they are located. For instance, these positive cations can be replaced with heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, nickel, cesium, arsenic ... which in this way are removed by zeolite from the environment or body.

Zeolites are rare natural minerals of volcanic or sedimentary origin, whose formation began millions of years ago, by contact of ocean water and volcanic ash. It was founded from four elements: fire, air, water and soil as a result of ancient volcanic processes in the Earth's crust.

Properties of natural zeolite:

The properties of natural zeolite is rapid, reversible adsorption of gases, ion exchange, collecting toxins of all the heavy metals, pesticides and other toxic substances relying on its trap like cage structure, the binding of harmful bacteria, antiparasitic activity, catalytic effect-enhancing growth, enzymatic processes, in general a catalyst, liberates environmental and thermal energy, and includes basic bioelements and bioelements in trace amounts.
