Review:
Zeolite
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Zeolite is a naturally occurring or synthetic microporous mineral known for its unique crystalline structure. It consists primarily of aluminosilicate frameworks that form cavities and channels, making it highly effective in ion-exchange, adsorption, and catalysis processes. Due to these properties, zeolites are widely used in environmental remediation, water purification, catalysis in chemical industries, and as adsorbents in various applications.
