Natural Zeolites, like Clinoptilolite redound to a cleaner, confident environment in a great number of applications. In fact nearly every application of natural zeolites has been driven by environmental concerns and plays a significant role in reducing toxic waste. It has a natural negative charge which gives it the capacity to adsorb cations and some organic contaminants. Zeolites are highly selective absorber of a variety of metal cations that can be removed from liquid effluents through the process of ion-exchange. Natural zeolites are excellent ion exchangers for the removal and recovery of heavy metal cations from drinking and waste-waters. Ammonia is a major issue for the treatment of municipal wastewater. This remarkable mineral has a huge capacity for adsorbing ammonia.
