zeolite
ze·o·lite Z0010000 (zē′ə-līt′)n. Any one of a family of hydrous alkali-aluminum silicate minerals, whose crystal lattice may enclose or sequester cations of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, or barium, or a corresponding synthetic compound, used chiefly as molecular filters and ion-exchange agents. [Swedish zeolit, from Greek zein, to boil (from its swelling and boiling under the blowpipe); see yes- in Indo-European roots.]zeolite (ˈziːəˌlaɪt) n1. (Minerals) any of a large group of glassy secondary minerals consisting of hydrated aluminium silicates of calcium, sodium, or potassium: formed in cavities in lava flows and plutonic rocks2. (Chemistry) any of a class of similar synthetic materials used in ion exchange and as selective absorbents. See molecular sieve[c18: zeo-, from Greek zein to boil + -lite; from the swelling up that occurs under the blowpipe] zeolitic adjze•o•lite (ˈzi əˌlaɪt) n. any of a group of hydrated aluminosilicate minerals, used as molecular sieves. [1770–80; < Greek ze(în) to boil + -o- + -lite] ze`o•lit′ic (-ˈlɪt ɪk) adj. ThesaurusNoun | 1. | zeolite - any of a family of glassy minerals analogous to feldspar containing hydrated aluminum silicates of calcium or sodium or potassium; formed in cavities in lava flows and in plutonic rocksmineral - solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical compositionwater softener - a substance (such as sodium chloride) that lessens the hardness of water by replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions and so gives the water more efficient sudsing powerchabasite, chabazite - a group of minerals of the zeolite family consisting of a hydrous silicate of calcium and aluminumheulandite - a group of minerals of the zeolite family consisting of a hydrous aluminum silicate of sodium and calciumnatrolite - a group of minerals of the zeolite family consisting of a hydrous silicate of sodium and aluminumphillipsite - a group of white or reddish crystalline minerals of the zeolite family consisting of a hydrous silicate of calcium and potassium and aluminum | Translationszeolite
zeolite[′zē·ə‚līt] (mineralogy) A group of white or colorless, sometimes red or yellow, hydrous tectosilicate minerals characterized by an aluminosilicate tetrahedral framework, ion-exchangeable large cations, and loosely held water molecules permitting reversible dehydration. Any mineral of the zeolite group, such as analcime, chabazite, natrolite, and stilbite. zeoliteA coarse-grained chemical compound used in water-softening equipment; consists of a greenish granular material containing iron (up to 25%), a large percentage of silica, and some alumina and potash.zeolite
ze·o·lite (zē'ō-līt), A naturally occurring hydrated sodium aluminum silicate, Na2O·Al2O3·(SiO2)x·(H2O)x, used for softening of hard water by exchanging its Na+ for the Ca2+ of the water; thus zeolite is an ion exchanger. Some synthetic ion exchangers are termed synthetic zeolites, although no chemical relationship exists.zeolite (zē′ŏ-līt″) [Gr. zein, to boil + -lite] A mineral containing aluminum and silica used to adsorb liquids and stop bleeding.zeolite
