  • What are natural zeolites?
  • Natural zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals of a porous structure with valuable physicochemical properties, such as cation exchange, molecular sieving, catalysis and sorption. The use of natural zeolites for environmental applications is gaining new research interests mainly due to their properties and significant worldwide occurrence.
  • Why are natural zeolites used in wastewater treatment?
  • In the past decades, utilisation of natural zeolites has been focussed on ammonium and heavy metal removal due to the nature of ion exchange and some review papers have been appeared , , . Apart from the presence of cations in water, anions and organic compounds are widely presented in wastewater.
  • Can natural clinoptilolite-rich zeolite support bacterial community formation?
  • Senila L, Hoaghia A, Moldovan A, Török IA, Kovacs D, Simedru D, Tomoiag CH, Senila M (2025) The potential application of natural clinoptilolite-rich zeolite as support for bacterial community formation for wastewater treatment.
  • Can zeolite be used in agriculture?
  • Conclusions Nowadays there is an increasing interest in zeolite utilization in agriculture. Zeolite application finds several potential uses in agriculture, particularly in soil management. For example, zeolites can be used as carriers of nutrients to promote nutrient use efficiency.
