Animation (above): Ion exchange in zeolites: the zeolite "cage" (gray) traps incoming ions (red and orange) and releases others (yellow) in their place. The most interesting thing about zeolites is their open, cage-like, "framework" structure and the way it can trap other molecules inside it. This is how water molecules and alkali or alkaline ...

Zeolites form in nature as a result of the chemical reaction between volcanic glass and saline water. Temperatures favoring the natural reaction range from 27°C to 55°C, and the pH is typically between 9 and 10. Nature requires 50 to 50,000 years to complete the reaction. Naturally occurring zeolites are rarely phase-pure and are contaminated ...
The basics of the structural chemistry of zeolites explained: zeolites are crystalline, microporous tectoaluminosilicates, wherein Si and Al atoms, collectively referred to as 'T atoms', are tetrahedrally coordinated by O atoms. These TO 4 units, connected by their apices (i.e., O atoms), form a three-dimensional network (left panel).
The arrangement of the structural unit in zeolite frameworks results in the generation of pores and cavities of various dimensions (Table 22.1), responsible for the molecular sieving and confinement effects during adsorption of molecules.Generally, zeolites are classified as small-pore materials, with pore apertures consisting of six, eight, or nine tetrahedra (6-, 8 …
The history of zeolites and molecular sieves is reviewed from the discovery of the first zeolite mineral in 1756 through the explosion in new molecular sieve structures and compositions in the 1980's and 1990's. R. M. Barrer's early pioneering work in adsorption and synthesis began the era of synthetic zeolites.

This reaction occurs all along the surface of the zeolite -- and because zeolites are porous, a single gram of the material has a surface area of 1000 square meters (10,700sqft).
