What is Silver Zeolite?
Silver zeolite refers to a type of zeolite, a porous crystalline material, that has been impregnated or coated with silver ions or silver nanoparticles. Zeolites are aluminosilicate minerals characterized by their porous three-dimensional structure. The introduction of silver into the zeolite structure can result in the material acquiring antimicrobial properties.
