Description

Chabazite CAS NO 12251-32-0 is a naturally occurring zeolite mineral belonging to the tectosilicate family, characterized by its distinctive rhombohedral crystal structure and high cation exchange capacity. This material is valued for its molecular sieving properties, selective adsorption capabilities, and thermal stability, making it a versatile functional solid. It serves as a critical component in industrial processes requiring gas separation, catalysis, and ion exchange. Key industries that utilize chabazite include petrochemical refining, environmental remediation, agriculture, and construction.

Application

• Gas Separation & Drying: Used as a desiccant and molecular sieve for the selective adsorption of water, carbon dioxide, and other small molecules from natural gas, air, and industrial gas streams.
• Catalysis & Petrochemicals: Employed as a catalyst or catalyst support in hydrocarbon cracking, isomerization, and methanol-to-olefins (MTO) processes due to its shape-selective pores and acidity.
• Environmental Remediation: Effective for the removal of heavy metal ions (e.g., lead, cadmium) and ammonium from wastewater and for capturing radioactive isotopes like cesium and strontium.
• Agriculture & Animal Husbandry: Acts as a soil conditioner to improve nutrient retention and as an additive in animal feed to promote gut health and reduce ammonia emissions.
• Construction Materials: Incorporated into cement and concrete mixtures as a pozzolanic additive to enhance strength and durability.
• Detergent Builder: Serves as a water-softening agent in laundry and dishwashing detergents by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions.
• Heat Storage & Solar Energy: Utilized in thermochemical heat storage systems due to its reversible hydration and dehydration properties.
• Odor Control: Applied in filters for controlling odors in litter boxes, refrigerators, and industrial facilities by adsorbing ammonia and sulfur compounds.

Quality Control

Our chabazite products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer-specific requirements. Key parameters monitored include cation exchange capacity (CEC), pore size distribution, silicon-to-aluminum ratio, and loss on ignition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are available upon request. We adhere to strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability for your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent caking and degradation of performance. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids.
