ADVANTAGES OF ZEOLITE DUE TO ITS CHARACTERISTICS

The table below gives information about some characteristics of zeolite and explains how these characteristics makes it superior than other minerals according to the advantages defined.

CHARACTERISTICS		ADVANTAGES
high capacity of cation exhange		soil conditioning in agriculture ,reduction of water ,gas pollution
micro-porous structure		elective adsorption, molecular sieve ,catalytic utilization
high capacity of water adsorption		increase in the benefit of water in agriculture and in other industrial activities
variable adsorption property		catalytic utilization
good adsorbent of some radioactive elements		radioactive isolation and other environmental radioactive processing
wide surface area		removing unwanted materials after refining process
the property of binding some mycotoxins		toxin binder for some types of feed and nutrients
good adsorbent of ammonium		cleaning the weather of barns by removing ammonium from the weather
insoluble in water		ability to exist for a long time where it's applied
recoverable		ability to be used plenty of times
high thermal resistance		utilization under high temperature
ability to stabilize each type of heat transfer		preventive material against global warming

Other advantages can also be mentioned as follows:

ü It’s used as for pellet binding during the preparation of animal feed additives.

ü It has various antibacterial antimicrobial applications.

ü Clino is used for the researches held by NASA, on plant breeding without soil in space and it’s defined as the most important material about these researches.
