  • Can natural zeolites be used in water treatment systems?
  • This paper gives an overview of research and patents concerning the use of natural zeolites in water-treatment systems in the last ten years. Furthermore, nanocomposite materials made of natural zeolites and organic and polymeric materials are also mentioned as an effective solution in water treatment.
  • Does natural zeolite remove anions and organic compounds from water?
  • Apart from the presence of cations in water, anions and organic compounds are widely presented in wastewater. In recent years, natural zeolite and its modified forms have also been reported for removal of anions and organics from water systems. However, no such a review has been found.
  • What is natural zeolite used for?
  • In the past decades, natural zeolites have found a variety of applications in adsorption, catalysis, building industry, agriculture, soil remediation, and energy , . It has been estimated that the world natural zeolite consumption is 3.98 Mt and will reach 5.5 Mt in 2010 .
  • Why is zeolite selectivity important in water treatment procedure?
  • Zeolites selectivity related to cations and anions is an important property in water treatment procedure. Selectivity is a property of the exchanger to show different preferences for particular ions and it depends of field strength in zeolite pore.
