The name Zeolite derives from the two Greek words zeein and lithos meaning 'boiling stones'. It was first coined by Swedish scientist and mineralogist Axel Fredrick von Cronstedt in 1756. The chemical name for Zeolite is Calcium- Potassium- Sodium- Aluminosilicate.
Zeolite consists predominantly of Silica along with 71 other elements, particularly minerals and trace elements. The Zeolite family includes diverse species, with Clinoptilolite as one of the most widely used and researched Zeolites.
