Zeolites, having the general formula (M2/n O•Al2O3•xSiO2•yH2O), n=cation valence, , are a group of natural or synthetic hydrated alumina-silicate minerals with reactive pores of molecular dimensions that allow configurational diffusion and thus entrapment of target anions or cations in the zeolite pores . The zeolite polyhedral (tetrahedral) structure consists of a framework of
