zeolites and their use in crop production – Dr Z. D. Zartaloudis zeolite is a mineral found in volcanic rocks, and possesses interesting properties such as high adsorption capacity and cation exchange capacity. Its crystalline structure is unique in that it cannot be destroyed under any circumstances. It is the only material that can be described as ‘permanently alive’. More specifically, it is a hydrated crystalline aluminosilicate mineral containing alkali cations, with an infinitely open, three-dimensional structure. It is capable of adsorbing and desorbing water and exchanging its structural cations without altering its crystalline structure. Furthermore, zeolites adsorb polar molecules with ... Read more
