Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. The term zeolite was originally coined in 1756 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, who observed that upon rapidly heating the material stilbite, it produced large amounts of steam from water that had been adsorbed by the material. B...

• (n.) A term now used to designate any one of a family of minerals, hydrous silicates of alumina, with lime, soda, potash, or rarely baryta. Here are included natrolite, stilbite, analcime, chabazite, thomsonite, heulandite, and others. These species occur of secondary origin in the cavities of amygdaloid, basalt, and lava, also, less frequen...

A class of minerals that are 'hydrated aluminosilicates'. An aluminosilicate is where some of the Si atoms in silica (which has the perfectly reasonable chemical formula SiO4) are replaced with aluminium, giving an excess negative charge. 'hydrated' means that water is strongly associated with these materials by hydrogen bonding. Lastly, a positive...
