Structural and ion-exchange properties of natural zeolite

Structural and Ion-Exchange Properties of Natural Zeolite Aiymgul M. Akimkhan, Laboratory of Ion Exchange Resins, A.B. Bekturov Institute of Chemical Sciences, Ministry of Education and Science, Kazakhstan Introduction Intensive studies into the properties of natural and synthetic zeolites have been conducted since the mid-1960s and 1970s. Among the various examples of zeolite applications, it suffices to mention the emission and purification of normal paraffin hydrocarbons, catalytic reactions involving hydrocarbons, the extraction of radioactive isotopes, the production of catalyst supports, the release of enzymes and the removal of atmospheric pollutants [1–3]. Researchers’ interest in such aluminosilicates stems from the unique properties ... Read more
