Zeolite for water purification, ion exchange, 10 kg bag

Description Zeolite for water purification, ion exchange, 10 kg bag

Ion-exchange zeolite is a natural mineral widely used for water purification due to its unique properties. This mineral has a porous structure consisting of numerous microscopic channels and cavities that can absorb and retain lead, cadmium, ammonia, and other toxins, as well as odors, chlorine, and organic compounds. Thanks to its ion-exchange properties, it removes calcium and magnesium ions (the cause of scale formation) from water. The product does not contain toxic chemicals, allowing it to be used without harmful effects on the environment in filters for drinking water, aquariums, swimming pools, industrial installations, and wastewater.

Properties

The product is formed through geological processes where lava and ash, containing high concentrations of volcanic glass, interact with fresh or seawater. This results in the formation of the crystalline structure of zeolite.

One of its main properties is its ability to absorb and filter various substances in water. Thanks to its porous structure, it can retain ionic forms of contaminants such as lead, cadmium, ammonia, and other toxic substances. It also effectively removes unwanted odors, chlorine, and various organic compounds.

Another important property is its ion exchange capacity. This property allows it to remove metal ions from water, such as calcium and magnesium, which are the main causes of scale formation. This helps keep water supply and heating systems clean and efficient.

It is also an environmentally friendly material, as it does not contain toxic chemicals and does not pollute the environment. It is used in various water purification systems, including drinking water filters, swimming pool filters, industrial installations, and even wastewater treatment.

Structure

The product consists mainly of aluminosilicates such as clinoptilolite and mordenite, which have a porous structure and the ability to absorb various substances.

Zeolites are molecular sieves, meaning they have a system of microscopic channels and cavities that allow them to retain various particles and ions. Their structure consists of a three-dimensional network of octagonal rings that form pores and channels of varying sizes.

The main elements included in its composition are aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and alkali metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. The presence of these elements provides active sites for ion exchange and the absorption of various substances.

The porous structure provides a large surface area, allowing it to effectively filter and purify water. And in order to

Application

The dosage depends on the volume and quality of the water to be purified. Generally, it is recommended to use 0.5-1 kg of zeolite per 1,000 liters of water. This will ensure effective contaminant removal and maintain optimal filtration system performance.

It is placed as a layer or filler in special filters. Water passes through them, and the zeolite absorbs contaminants, including heavy metals, ammonia, and organic compounds;

In granular or powder form, it is added directly to water or placed in bags or nets that are immersed in a container of water. This way, the zeolite will gradually develop its purifying properties, trapping and removing contaminants;

For best results, it is recommended to regularly check and replace used zeolite. Replacement timing may vary depending on specific usage conditions and the degree of water contamination.
