ZEOLITE

---

In the 1970’s Zeolite was used in the treating of wastewater ammonia and radioactive material. As the mineral’s amazing filtration and absorption ability became more known, people started using it in pools in Europe and the USA. Since the 1980’s, Zeolite has been identified for use in many different applications and as such has become a very valuable commodity.

People have only recently begun to realize the true potential and capabilities of zeolite. As a result, it has also been dubbed the mineral of the 21st century and new applications are continually being discovered around the world.

Formed from volcanic ash,  naturally occurring zeolites are rarely found in such a pure form and are often contaminated by varying degrees of minerals such as metals, quartz or clays. Using low-grade zeolites that are contaminated by other minerals can be detrimental to the results, which makes it extremely important to source high-purity zeolite that is suited to the type of application involved. Zeolites’ porous, honeycomb like molecular structure allows it to accommodate and assist in the exchange of cations such as Rb+ Na+ Ba2+ Mg2+ Li+ Ag+ Sr2+ Fe3+ K+ Cd2+ Cu2+ Co3+ Cs+ Pb2+ Ca2+ Al3+ NH4+ Zn2+ Hg2+ Cr3+ and many others.

Imperial Agri's Zeolite is a high purity zeolite, sourced directly from our site in the desert of California.
