Zeolites

Zeolites are naturally occurring or synthetic minerals with a porous, sponge-like structure that allows them to trap and exchange ions and molecules. Their tiny, uniform pores make them effective at filtering, adsorbing odors, and softening water by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium. Because of their stability and high surface area, zeolites are widely used in water purification, air filtration, agriculture, and industrial processes. Essentially, they act as molecular sieves, selectively capturing specific substances, making them valuable for environmental and industrial applications.
