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.
在石油和化学工业中,用作催化裂化、加氢裂化和石油炼制的化学异构化、重整、烷基化和歧化;气体和液体净化、分离和储存剂;硬水软化、海水淡化;特殊干燥剂(干燥空气、氮气、碳氢化合物等)。在轻工业中用于造纸、合成橡胶、塑料、树脂、油漆填料和优质颜料。在国防、空间技术、超真空技术、能源开发、电子工业等方面用作吸附分离剂和干燥剂。在建材工业中用作水泥水硬性活性外加剂,烧制人造轻骨料,制造轻质高强板材和砖。在农业上用作土壤改良剂,可起到保肥、保水、防治病虫害的作用。在家禽业中,用作饲料(猪、鸡)的添加剂和除臭剂可以促进牲畜的生长,提高雏鸡的成活率。在环保方面,用于处理废气和废水,去除或回收废水、废液中的金属离子,去除废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)农业:臭味控制;圈养动物的环境控制;畜牧饲料添加剂。在东欧,日本和古巴沸石传统上用于农业。在牲畜日粮中添加约 5% 可减少氨和气味排放,提高饲料效率,有助于霉菌毒素吸收,并可提供微量元素。几年前,美国宇航局使用营养丰富的沸石作为缓释肥料。
(3)园艺:苗圃、温室;花艺主义;蔬菜/香草;叶子;树木和灌木移植;草坪土壤改良剂;开垦、植被恢复、景观美化;造林(林业、种植园);水培介质。
(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) 放射性废物:场地修复/净化。
(7)水处理:水过滤;去除重金属;游泳池废水处理;城市污泥/废水中的氨/除氨;去除重金属;化粪池浸出场等
