Zeolites are more like a family of mineral ... Some of the more common mineral zeolites are analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite, heulandite, natrolite, phillipsite, and stilbite.
Each has it's own hardness. Most are in the 3-5,5 range.

Which mineral starts with Z?
Zeolite.
Is zeolite a mineral?
Zeolite is actually not a mineral, but the name of a large group of minerals, that are silicates with framework structures containing open cavities in the form of channels and cages. This framework makes them excellent filters with a multitude of uses. A few common zeolite minerals are analcime, chabazite, and heulandite. Zeolites of the World by Tschernich is the best reference on these minerals.
Is zeolite an example of silicate?
silica is used to manufacture zeolite
Is zeolite powder better than liquid zeolite?
There is much debate between which is better. In almost every case, a zeolite powder or zeolite capsule will contain more zeolite than any liquid but that isn't the only important factor. It is believed that liquid zeolite's are more rapidly absorbed by the body and also contain carriers such as fulvic/humic acids, trace minerals, among others. These carriers help bring the zeolites in deeper. Generally zeolite powder products don't have carriers, some that do are Super Z Lite Capsules and ZeoPowder. It's probably best to take both zeolite powder and liquid zeolite to ensure maximum zeolite dosage and absorption (from the carriers in the liquid zeolite).
Distinguish between the zeolite process and the permutit process?
there is no difference between zeolite process and permutit process. permutit means sodium aluminum zeolite (Na2Al2Si2O8 )
Can zeolite be cleansed and reused?
Yes, zeolite can be cleaned and reused. It can be cleaned with a saltwater solution, and then it can be used again.
Is zeolite a desiccant?
yes
What is the formula of zeolite?
Al2Si2O7
Explain the softening of water by zeolite process?
For softening of water by zeolite process hard water is percolated at a specified rate through a bed of zeolite, kept in a cylinder. The hardness-causing ions(Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.) are retained by the zeolite as CaZe and MgZe; while the outgoing water contains sodium salts.
What does the word zeolite mean?
The Greek translation which literally means boiling stone. This term was given by Axel Cronstedt in 1756. In industries today, this mineral type is used in water purification, and in nuclear processing.
Can zeolite preserve food?
Yes
Can Zeolite remove radiation from ready made food?
Zeolite can remove radiation from any kind of food, as long as it gets inside the food. The Russians used Zeolite inside of their cookies to remove radiation and any other chemicals that might have made it into the food. It would probably take longer for the Zeolite to gather the radiation from ready made food, but what I've read, Zeolite can attract radiation, so it wouldn't matter if it was being used inside ready food or when you are making it. As long as you give the Zeolite time to attract the radiation (about 10 or 15 minutes) then you should be radiation free!
