Time=clinoptilolite;NOW so, I wrote that old-original-founder Rockwell engineer Partner a while back when we almost decided to non renew Chuca Butte in the Rabbitfoot Claims at Rt 66 this past August, I (we) get our kicks on Route 66:
auctionbuy.com
The Zeolite deposit near the wilderness study area is a
clinoptilite-mordenite deposit. Drilling was done by Occidental Minerals and
Phelps Dodge (aka Rockwell) identified 1 million st with an inferred resource
of 2MM st. The ammonium exchange capacity ranges from 0.79 millequivalents
NH/g to 1.72............The grade of the zeolite minerals is too low for use
in ammonium absorption.

Average ammonium exchange capacity must be more than 1.6 NH/g to be used for
ammonium absorption. Although this deposit does not meet the requirements for
ammonia absorption it may be suitable for other uses........

CG:
WE HAVE THE RATE OF EXCHANGE THAT is rare! Thus value able ...if THE Rate at $465<sic- sb $485> is at CNA mining which IS OUR SAME RATE EXCHANGE EXACT amount...as in USG report..S-Gravities etal...

Clinoptilolite is the most abundant member of the 48 minerals in the zeolite group. The mineral occurs in extensive deposits throughout the world. Although more clinoptilolite is produced than any other zeolite mineral, most of the end use applications are construction aggregates, building stone, soil additives, and animal adsorbents. Only a very small percentage of these deposits are capable of producing high purity clinoptilolite suitable for ion exchange, and sorption applications.

The two clinoptilolite products specially selected for sale by GSA Resources are ZS403H and ZK406H. Both of these products are high purity products which have unique yet different properties. Though both minerals are clinoptilolite, each has unique chemical and physical properties which determine its applications.

ZK406H is a potassium clinoptilolite which excels in odor control, and high tech agricultural products. It is also the product of choice for most coated and carrier applications.

ZK403H is a sodium clinoptilolite which is the finest product available for ammonia control in waste water and aquariums. It also has the highest attrition resistance of any clinoptilolite we have tested which had a high rate of ion exchange. This product also can be used in radio active waste treatments.

GSA Resources is always searching for and testing zeolite minerals in an effort to make available the very finest product tailored to each customer's needs. Our corporate goal is excellence.

Zeolite Grade/Classification:
The zeolite capacity for absorbing pollutants is a quality factor that determines the price per tonne and is measured by the Caton Exchange Capacity, or CEC factor. To be good, marketable zeolite CEC factors must range from 80-120+, depending on their grade and size, the Clinoptilolite zeolites sell for as high as US$485/tonne.

>>The zeolites are a popular group of minerals for collectors and an important group of minerals for industrial and other purposes. They combine rarity, beauty, complexity and unique crystal habits. Typically forming in the cavities, or vesicles, of volcanic rocks, zeolites are the result of very low grade metamorphism. Some form from just subtle amounts of heat and pressure and can just barely be called metamorphic while others are found in obviously metamorphic regimes. Zeolite crystals have been grown on board the space shuttle and are undergoing extensive research into their formation and unique properties.
>>The zeolites are framework silicates consisting of interlocking tetrahedrons of SiO4 and AlO4. In order to be a zeolite the ratio (Si +Al)/O must equal 1/2. The alumino-silicate structure is negatively charged and attracts the positive cations that reside within. Unlike most other tectosilicates, zeolites have large vacant spaces or cages in their structures that allow space for large cations such as sodium, potassium, barium and calcium and even relatively large molecules and cation groups such as water, ammonia, carbonate ions and nitrate ions. In the more useful zeolites, the spaces are interconnected and form long wide channels of varying sizes depending on the mineral. These channels allow the easy movement of the resident ions and molecules into and out of the structure. Zeolites are characterized by their ability to lose and absorb water without damage to their crystal structures. The large channels explain the consistent low specific gravity of these minerals.
>>
>>Zeolites have many useful purposes. They can perform ion exchange, filtering, odor removal, chemical sieve and gas absorption tasks. The most well known use for zeolites is in water softeners. Calcium in water can cause it to be "hard" and capable of forming scum and other problems. Zeolites charged with the much less damaging sodium ions can allow the hard water to pass through its structure and exchange the calcium for the sodium ions. This process is reversable. In a similar way zeolites can absorb ions and molecules and thus act as a filter for odor control, toxin removal and as a chemical sieve. Zeolites can have the water in their structures driven off by heat with the basic structure left intact. Then other solutions can be pushed through the structure. The zeolites can then act as a delivery system for the new fluid. This process has applications in medicine, livestock feeds and other types of research. Zeolites added to livestock feed have been shown to absorb toxins that are damaging and even fatal to the growth of the animals, while the basic structure of the zeolite is biologically neutral. Aquarium hobbyists are seeing more zeolite products in pet stores as zeolites make excellent removers of ammonia and other toxins. Most municipal water supplies are processed through zeolites before public consumption. These uses of zeolites are extremely important for industry, although synthetic zeolites are now doing the bulk of the work.
>>
>>Zeolites have basically three different structural variations.
>>
>>There are chain-like structures whose minerals form acicular or needle-like prismatic crystals, ie natrolite.
>>Sheet-like structures where the crystals are flattened platy or tabular with usually good basal cleavages, ie heulandite.

>>THE MINERAL CLINOPTILOLITE
>>Chemistry: (Na, K, Ca)2 - 3Al3(Al, Si)2Si13O36-12H2O, Hydrated Sodium Potassium Calcium Aluminum Silicate
>>Class: Silicates
>>Subclass: Tectosilicates
>>Group: Zeolites
>>Zeolite Family: Heulandite
>>Uses: As a chemical filter, chemical absorber, water purifier and as mineral specimens.
>>Specimens
>>Clinoptilolite is not the most well known, but is one of the more useful natural zeolites. Clinoptilolite is used in many applications such as a chemical sieve, a gas absorber, a feed additive, a food additive, an odor control agent and as a water filter for municipal and residential drinking water and aquariums. Clinoptilolite is well suited for these applications due to its large amount of pore space, high resistance to extreme temperatures and chemically neutral basic structure. What might strike many as odd is the food and feed additives. Clinoptilolite has been used for several years now as an additive to feed for cows, pigs, horses and chickens. It absorbs toxins in the feed that are created by molds and microscopic parasites and has enhance food absorption by these animals. Similar uses in actual people food is being tested.

>>Clinoptilolite can easily absorb ammonia and other toxic gases from air and water and thus can be used in filters, both for health reasons and for odor removal.
>>Clinoptilolite forms as a devitrification product (the conversion of glass to crystalline material) of volcanic glass in tuffs. Tuffs are consolidated pyroclastic rocks. The devitrification occurs when the glass is in contact with saline waters. Clinoptilolite is also found in the vesicles of volcanic rocks such as basalts, rhyolites and andesites. It forms as an alteration of phillipsite in deep-sea sediments and with borate minerals in playa lakes. Clinoptilolite, which means "oblique feather stone" in Greek, received its name because it was thought to be the monoclinic (or obliquely inclined) phase of the mineral ptilolite, as in "oblique ptilolite". But ptilolite was later found to be the earlier named mineral mordenite; consequently ptilolite is no longer in use.
>>
>>Clinoptilolite is very closely related to heulandite and is currently being considered for disuse itself as it may just be a variety of huelandite. It differs from heulandite significantly only in its enrichment in potassium and slightly more silica and it is argued that a separate mineral is not needed. The name clinoptilolite is widely recognized and used among zeolite industries, mineral collectors and mineralogists. For now at least, clinoptilolite is recognized as a legitimate, distinct mineral.
>>
>>The structure of clinoptilolite is the same as heulandite and is sheet-like. Although still a true tectosilicate where every oxygen is connected to either a silicon or an aluminum ion (at a ratio of [Al + Si]/O = 1/2), there still is a sheet-like structural organization. The sheets are connected to each other by a few bonds that are relatively widely separated from each other. The sheets contain open rings of alternating eight and ten sides. These rings stack together from sheet to sheet to form channels throughout the crystal structure. The size of these channels controls the size of the molecules or ions that can pass through them and therefore a zeolite like clinoptilolite can act as a chemical sieve, allowing some ions to pass through while blocking others. A zeolite can be thought of in terms of a house, where the structure of the house (the doors, windows, walls and roof) is the zeolite while the furniture and people are the water and ammonia molecules and ions that can pass in and out of the structure. Clinoptilolite's sheet-like structure produces the prominent pinacoid faces, the perfect cleavage and the unique luster on those faces.
