Zeolite ia Sodium, Potassium salt of alumino silicate. The general formula of Zeolite is as
M x/n [(AlO2)x (SiO2)] · mH2O.
Where M= Na+, K+, NH4+, Li+, Ca+2, Mg+2
Examples: Na2[(AlO2)12 (SiO2)]·27H2O
Zeolite’s have truncated Octahedral structure.
Zeolite’s are molecular sieves (Chalni) , are used to removed hardness of water and sulphate unit from detergents.
