Zeolite is a crystalline solids structures made of silicon, aluminum and oxygen. They can perform ion exchange, filtering, odor removal, chemical sieve and gas absorption tasks. The most well known use for zeolites is in water softeners. Calcium in water can cause it to be "hard" and capable of forming scale and other problems. Zeolites charged with the much less damaging sodium ions can allow the hard water to pass through its structure and exchange the calcium for the sodium ions. In a similar way zeolites can absorb ions and molecules and thus act as a filter for odor control, toxin removal and as a chemical sieve.
Use of Different Grade Zeolies:
- Aquaculture - Decreases ammonia levels in ponds and tanks, filtrates water for cleaner tanks.
- Detergents
- Medical
- Agriculture
- Petrochemical industry
- Increases biological activity, reduces nutrient levels, cuts sludge volume and odours, reduces ammonia and BOD levels in ion exchange columns or bed effluent, can be back flushed and regenerated, with ammonia recovered for fertiliser, increases sewerage plant capacity and life cycle.
- Vermiculture - Traps nitrogen through cation-exchange, eliminates odours in worm farms, absorbs and holds heavy metals, stabilises the pH value of worm beds, increases the nutrient value of vermicast.
- Mining - Remediation of mines through absorption and retention of dangerous heavy metals and other metallurgical wastes.
- Horticulture - Retains nutrients longer to lower fertiliser costs, substantial yield improvements, less nutrient leeching, long term soil improvement.
- Stockfeeds - Diminishes ammonia toxicity and scouring, increases nitrogen levels in manures for higher fertiliser values, reduces odour levels in sheds and a safer, slow release off ammonia from urea, produces lower mortality rates in fowls and limits the moisture levels in organic wastes.
