Zeolite Technical

Zeolite is a crystallin, porous alumino-silicate, with the capacity to exchange selective ions. Natural zeolites have physical and chemical properties suitable for wide-range industrial and commercial appliactions. Zeolite has a unique interconnecting lattice structure. This unique structure is arranged in such a way that a honeycomb framework of a consistent diameter of interconnecting channels and pores is formed. The negatively charged alumina and neutrally charged silica tetrahedral building blocks are stacked to produce the open three-dimensional honeycomb framework. As a result of the unique structure, Zeolites are able to attract chemicals, odors and gasses and trap them safely and effectively in its crystalline structure.

New products are always being developed using zeolite such as Surfactant Modified Zeolite (SMZ) for control of anions (negatively charged particles). Zeocan Zeolite is commercially available in 10 kg bags, 1 tonne totes andbulk truckload. The Zeocan Zeolite deposit is less than 1 mile from a paved road, approximately 6 miles from a railroad - convenient for oversea shipments.1) Zeocan Zeolite is light green when dry and dark green when wet. Also comes in white as well.2) it holds up to 65% of its weight in water. 3) It has a high cation-exchange capacity (CEC) typically 160 to 180 meq/100 grams. 4) A low clay content makes Zeocan Zeolite non-clouding in water and provides for low dust.5) It has a very large surface area (approximately 24.9 square meters per gram). 6) It is hard and resistant to attrition. 

Zeolite is a unique group of minerals with an important basic property - it's the world's only mineral with a naturally occurring' negative charge. Therefore, zeolites presently have impressive industrial benefits with a huge upside in market potential.
