Water Softening
Because of their unique porous properties, zeolites are used in a variety of applications with a global market of several milliion tonnes per annum. In the western world, major uses are in petrochemical cracking, ion-exchange (water softening and purification), and in the separation and removal of gases and solvents. Other applications are in agriculture, animal husbandry and construction. They are often also referred to as molecular sieves.
