Natural zeolite is an emerging material that is widely used in industry, agriculture, defense and other sectors, and its use is constantly expanding. Zeolite is used as an ion exchanger, adsorption separating agent, desiccant, catalyst, cement mixture.
在石油和化學工業中,用作催化裂化、加氫裂化和石油煉製的化學異構化、重整、烷基化和歧化;氣體和液體淨化、分離和儲存劑;硬水軟化、海水淡化;特殊乾燥劑(乾燥空氣、氮氣、碳氫化合物等)。在輕工業中用於造紙、合成橡膠、塑料、樹脂、油漆填料和優質顏料。在國防、空間技術、超真空技術、能源開發、電子工業等方面用作吸附分離劑和乾燥劑。在建材工業中用作水泥水硬性活性外加劑,燒製人造輕骨料,製造輕質高強板材和磚。在農業上用作土壤改良劑,可起到保肥、保水、防治病蟲害的作用。在家禽業中,用作飼料(豬、雞)的添加劑和除臭劑可以促進牲畜的生長,提高雛雞的成活率。在環保方面,用於處理廢氣和廢水,去除或回收廢水、廢液中的金屬離子,去除廢水中的放射性污染物。
From a practical point of view, 沸石 can be adapted for a variety of uses:
(1) Aquaculture: ammonia filtration in fish hatcheries; Biological filter media. In fish farms, the water load of fish can be very high. This leads to rapid contamination of the water, so the concentration of toxic substances increases rapidly. Therefore, a large amount of water purification is necessary. Zeolite can be used in various steps of the purification process: as a secondary filtration unit after biological purification and/or aeration; as a supporting material for bacteria; As a filter medium, it is used to remove solids and suspended particles and simultaneously remove unwanted ions.
(2)農業:臭味控制;圈養動物的環境控制;畜牧飼料添加劑。在東歐,日本和古巴沸石傳統上用於農業。在牲畜日糧中添加約 5% 可減少氨和氣味排放,提高飼料效率,有助於黴菌毒素吸收,並可提供微量元素。幾年前,美國宇航局使用營養豐富的沸石作為緩釋肥料。
(3)園藝:苗圃、溫室;花藝主義;蔬菜/香草;葉子;樹木和灌木移植;草坪土壤改良劑;開墾、植被恢復、景觀美化;造林(林業、種植園);水培介質。
(4) Household products: household odor control; Pet odor control. Domestic uses mainly involve the odor and liquid adsorption characteristics of 沸石. A range of gases, including formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide, have been shown to be adsorbed by zeolite.
In the United States, 沸石 is often added to small air filters to adsorb such gases and reduce allergy problems. It can be used to dry sneakers, reduce moisture in the wardrobe, and is often used to absorb cigarette odors. A very useful carpet cleaner based on 沸石. The most common use of 沸石 in the home is as a fat absorbent for cat litter and barbecue. It is also used to adsorb ammonia in fish tanks. When the waste product is fully utilized, it is an ideal addition to compost, helping to regulate and ultimately contribute to soil moisture and nutrient retention.
(5) Industrial products: absorbent of oil and spillage; Gas separation. Industrial uses focus on the liquid and vapor absorption properties of 沸石. It can be ideal for particulate oil/chemical spill cleanup; It is inert and safe to use.
(6) 放射性廢物:場地修復/淨化。
(7)水處理:水過濾;去除重金屬;游泳池廢水處理;城市污泥/廢水中的氨/除氨;去除重金屬;化糞池浸出場等
