Defining the size class as the quality parameter of zeolite assortment of products

Abstract

Quality requirements for the product assortments, obtained from a large number of non-metallic mineral raw materials, are defined, and above all, they have the defined particle size. Are the quality requirements for zeolite assortments defined? Searching for the answer to this question, an internet research was done. The web pages of the most significant producers of materials based on natural zeolite were studied as well as the papers of a large number of prominent researchers whose experiments are focused on the natural zeolite. This paper presents the findings primarily with the aspect of particle size as the quality parameter of zeolite assortments. Based on this analysis, it is considered that it should define the quality requirements of zeolite assortments, especially the particle size for each product. In fact, it is important to know the particle size in mineral processing in order to choose less expensive procedure for obtaining the final product.
