Description

Zeolite CAS NO 68989-22-0 is a versatile class of microporous, aluminosilicate minerals widely used as molecular sieves and catalysts. Its value lies in its high surface area, uniform pore structure, and excellent ion-exchange capacity, enabling selective adsorption and separation processes. This product is essential for industries such as petrochemical refining, gas purification, detergents, and water treatment, where precise molecular management is critical.

Application

• Petrochemical Catalysis: Acts as a solid acid catalyst in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), alkylation, and isomerization processes.
• Gas Separation & Drying: Used as a desiccant and molecular sieve for drying natural gas, air, and industrial gases by selectively adsorbing water and other polar molecules.
• Detergent Builder: Serves as a water-softening agent in laundry and dishwashing detergents by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions.
• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Employed for the removal of ammonium ions, heavy metals, and other contaminants through ion exchange and adsorption.
• Agricultural & Horticultural Use: Functions as a soil amendment to improve water retention and nutrient delivery, and as a carrier for pesticides and fertilizers.
• Nuclear Waste Remediation: Utilized for the selective capture and immobilization of radioactive cations like cesium and strontium.
• Odor Control: Incorporated into filters for adsorbing ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and other volatile organic compounds in consumer and industrial settings.
• Oxygen Production: Key component in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) systems for generating oxygen from air.

Quality Control

Our zeolite products are manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for pore size, ion-exchange capacity, adsorption performance, and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements and industry standards.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in its original, sealed packaging until use to prevent loss of adsorption capacity. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
