KMI Zeolite

The first known uses of Zeolite can be traced back to B.C.E when Roman’s employed the mineral in their aqua ducts. Zeolite was not discovered in the USA until the 1950’s. In the 1970’s it was used in the treating of wastewater ammonia and radioactive material. Clinoptilolite zeolite is a natural inorganic mineral that is formed when volcanic ash is spewed into the atmosphere during violent eruptions. The volcanic ash plumes often travel thousands of miles before they are deposited on the earth’s surface. Zeolites such as KMI’s clinoptilolite were formed when the volcanic flow lands in shallow marine basins where it crystallized over many years into an amazingly pure and highly effective hydrated aluminosilicate.
