What is a zeolite?
Natural zeolites are minerals that are ancient volcanic ash in origin. In 1756, a Swedish mineralogist discovered zeolites and named them form two Greek words ‘zein’ and ‘lithos’ meaning “boiling stones” (which explains their volcanic origin). Since their discovery, the unique dehydration, adsorption, ion exchange, and catalysis nature of zeolites have been studied by chemists and mineralogists. Now the practical applications of zeolites, as found in the Moisture Filter, are being realized.
