Zeolite Formation
The unique properties of natural zeolites, such as its multichannel structure and cation exchange cap
were initiated many years ago when volcanic explosions distributed ash aluminosilicates created from
alkaline soil.

Formation of Natural Zeolites

Millions of years ago, zeolite deposits used for ZEO’s products formed when
volcanoes erupted enormous amounts of ash–aluminosilicates of alkali and
alkaline earths. Some of the wind borne ash settled to form thick ash beds. In
some cases the ash fell into lakes and in others, water percolated through the
ash beds. In all cases, the chemical reaction of volcanic ash and salt water
resulted in the formation of natural zeolites. Amazing, the power of a volcano
ation harnessed for use in natural zeolites. We, at ZEO, call it the zeolite blast.
