Zeolites have high porosity due to their unique crystalline structure, which contains regularly spaced micropores and mesopores. The porosity of zeolites allows them to selectively adsorb molecules based on their size and shape, making them useful in various applications such as catalysis and gas separation.

What is the density of zeolites?

The specific density of zeolites range from ~ 2.2 - 2.5 g/cc depending upon the composition. For most aluminosilicate materials a value of 2.4 g/cc is usually fairly safe for early estimations (back-of-the-napkin calculations). The bulk density of zeolites typically range from 0.8 - 1.1 g/cc depending upon the porosity of the zeolitic framework.

Why moisture is picked up by zeolites?

Zeolites are a mineral that can store up to four times more heat than water. Due to zeolites being extremely porous it is able to pick up moisture.

What is the mineral zeolites hardness?

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.

Are zeolites igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rocks?

Zeolites are typically formed in sedimentary and metamorphic environments, rather than volcanic or igneous settings. They are secondary minerals that form from the alteration of volcanic glass and ash by groundwater.


How does porosity and permeability interact?

The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.
