Zeolites yog ib pawg ntawm hydrated aluminosilicate minerals nrog peb -dimensional ntxeem tau crystalline qauv. Ntuj zeolites feem ntau yog tsim nyob rau hauv volcanic sedimentary pob zeb, thiab lawv tuaj yeem tsim los ntawm cov khoom siv hluavtaws.
Lawv cov qauv pore thiab kab noj hniav ua rau lawv muaj peev xwm adsorptive zoo, ion pauv kev ua tau zoo thiab cov khoom siv catalytic, ua rau kev siv dav hauv kev lag luam: lawv tuaj yeem ua cov adsorbents hauv dej kho kom tshem tawm cov hlau hnyav ions, ua lub luag haujlwm hauv kev tsim cov tshuaj lom neeg, thiab tseem ua lub luag haujlwm hauv cov chiv thiab dej khaws cia nrog rau kev txhim kho av hauv cov khoom siv hauv tsev thiab kev ua liaj ua teb. Lawv yog li ib tug multifunctional khoom nrog ob qho tib si ib puag ncig thiab economic nqi.
