 Natural zeolites are a group of minerals that have many uses and are found in large deposits of tuffaceous sedimentary rocks in the western U.S. and in other countries. Their surface and structural properties make them ideal for a variety of applications, including filtration and industrial processing.

  Generally, natural zeolites are not phase-pure but contaminated by other minerals. This means that they often contain other zeolites and other materials that prevent their effective use in adsorption. This results in poor performance in many commercial applications. However, there are ways to increase the purity of natural zeolites.

  Natural zeolites have been used in construction since Roman times. Some of the applications for zeolites include a hydroponic substrate for growing plants on space missions, as well as wound healing. With their unique properties, natural zeolites are becoming full-fledged minerals, with the potential to expand their uses in the future. They are also becoming an important addition to construction sites and other projects that use mineral-based materials.

  There are many benefits to using natural zeolites. They can help improve the soil. They absorb water and nutrients from rain and water and then release them slowly. By utilizing ion exchange, they optimize the soils for crops in a sustainable way. They are also used in greenhouses, garden plants, golf courses, and fertilizers.

  Natural zeolites are used as building blocks and cement. They are used for solar energy storage, heating and cooling applications, and many other uses. They are also used as a soil conditioning agent and as a carrier for pesticides and insecticides. Naturally-occurring zeolites are also valuable in a number of other industries. For instance, in July 2021, a research team at Stanford University, U.S., collaborated with the University Of Leuven, Belgium, to develop a "tantalizing" principle for converting methane into methanol using natural zeolites at room temperature.
