Zeolite is a crystallin, porous alumino-silicate, with the capacity to exchange selective ions. Natural zeolites have physical and chemical properties suitable for wide-range industrial and commercial applications. Zeolite has a unique interconnecting lattice structure. This unique structure is arranged in such a way that a honeycomb framework of a consistent diameter of interconnecting channels and pores is formed. The negatively charged alumina and neutrally charged silica tetrahedral building blocks are stacked to produce the open three-dimensional honeycomb framework. As a result of the unique structure, Zeolites are able to attract odors and gasses and trap them safely and effectively in its crystalline structure.

Zeolite has been found to be an excellent pozzolan (Portland cement substitute) in concrete.
It is much cheaper and more energy efficient to produce than Portland Cement.
15-40% of the cement can be effectively replaced by Zeolite.
10 tons of Zeolite used as a pozzolan saves approximately 1 ton of fuel.

Zeolites have been found to increase biological activity, reduce nutrient levels, cut sludge volume and odours, reduce ammonia and BOD levels in ion exchange columns or bed effluent, can be back flushed and regenerated, with ammonia recovered for fertilizer, increases sewerage plant capacity and life cycle.
Remediation of mines through absorption and retention of dangerous heavy metals and other metallurgical wastes.
Higher yields through making fertilizers more effective by preventing leeching and holding valuable nutrients such as ammonium nitrate, potassium, magnesium and calcium as well as trace elements for slow release as needed. Also produces long term soil improvements.
Retains nutrients longer to lower fertilizer costs; substantial yield improvements; less nutrient leeching; long term soil improvement.
Diminishes ammonia toxicity and scouring; increases nitrogen levels in manures for higher fertilizer 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.
Produces significant turf root improvement; dense and deeper feeder root system; less fertilizers required; retention of key nutrients; increased soil potassium levels; permanent increase in cation-exchange capacity.
fertilizer
Traps nitrogen through cation-exchange, eliminates odours in worm farms, absorbs and holds heavy metals, stabilizes the pH value of worm beds; increases the nutrient value of vermicast.
