Chemical analysis of Greek zeolite – N. Lygeros

Chemical analysis of Greek zeolite – N. Lygeros | Zeolife.gr As we are now entering a new phase for Greek zeolite, it is good to have technical data rather than just estimates, as we can carry out XRD and EDX measurements that enable us to avoid generalisations. First and foremost, we should note that the zeolite variety we are examining within the zeolitic tuff is clinoptilolite, and its formula is as follows: (Na,K,Ca)₂₋₃Al₃(Al,Si)₂Si₁₃O₃₆·12H₂O. Zeolites generally contain silicon (Si) and aluminium (Al). Clinoptilolite, however, is additionally characterised by the following elements: Na, K, Ca. Consequently, these are present in the chemical analysis ... Read more
