Bulk Zeolite Clinoptilolite 15 lb. - Mesh Size 4 x 8 - Free 300 Micron Media Bag Included

Zeolite is an organic mineral derived from the reaction of volcanic activity and an alkaline water source, either freshwater or saltwater Great for water filtration, soil, garden, and plant use. Clinoptilolite Zeolite has two methods of capturing nutrients or pollutants: Absorption into the porous matrix Adsorption by cation exchange (CEC) Absorption works similar to a sponge, utilizing the porous structure of the Zeolite to capture and hold water and nutrients until the plant is ready for it. Adsorption works by utilizing zeolites high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) value of 180 to 250 meq/100g. What makes Clinoptilolite Zeolite such a great mineral fertilizer are it’s adsorption abilities, which lets Zeolite magnetically hold and then slow release plant nutrients to prevent them from washing away while keeping them available to plants and crops. Zeolite holds ammonium and other nutrients in the crystal structure where they are not water soluble but are plant accessible on an as-needed and time-release basis. Zeolite has a high affinity for NH4+, which is a plant usable form of nitrogen. Zeolite will also take up Ca2+ from phosphate rock, thereby releasing both phosphate and ammonium ions (Eberl D., 1993).
