Zeolite
What are zeolites?
Zeolites are aluminium-silicate minerals that have very wide internal surfaces (up to approx. 400 m2/g) due to their special micro-porous structure. As a result, zeolite can store an inimitable quantity of water or other substances.
In addition, zeolite has also a selective ion exchange property in relation to a special chemical composition (in this case, the highest clinoptilolite percentage possible is the decisive quality criterion).
The order of selectivity for the ion exchange looks like the following:
These unique characteristics of zeolite can be better illustrated with the following structure model:
LITHOS owns many open cut mines and, as a result, can constantly guarantee high quality and availability of raw material. The different zeolite products processed by LITHOS can be used in many applications thanks to their special properties. All products are completely natural and, as a result, can be safely used in organic farming.
- Farming:
- Natural protection against fouling by dogs and cats (CleanPlay)
- Pool filter, ponds, aquaristics (LithoGran, LithoPool)
- Drink and waste water treatment (InokuLith)
- Industrial applications (LithoFill, LithoGran):
- Paper production
- Filler for the rubber production
- Extraction of heavy and non ferrous metals
- Hydrogen and nitrogen separation of the air
- etc.
