Zeolite Y

Zeolite Y is a type of crystalline mineral with a highly porous structure, making it excellent at trapping and exchanging ions. It’s widely used as a catalyst in petroleum refining to convert crude oil into gasoline and other fuels because its structure facilitates chemical reactions efficiently. Its uniform pores also allow it to selectively adsorb specific molecules, helping in purification and separation processes. Zeolite Y's stability at high temperatures and its ability to undergo multiple regeneration cycles make it an essential material in industries like petrochemicals, environmental cleanup, and catalysis.
