一种颇具潜力的化工矿产资源──沸石

ZEOLITE: A MINERAL RESOURCE SHOWING GREAT POTENTIAL AS CHEMICAL RAW MATERIAL

沸石以其晶间含水量随外界温度、湿度变化而异的特性，使其在农业方面具有改良土壤、保肥、缓释肥效等明显作用。同时在化工、环保、食品、饲料等领域中亦日益显出其颇具潜力的实用价值。我国沸石资源丰富，开发前景广阔。

With variation of its intercrystalline water with outside temperature and humidity, zeolite is strongly effective of improving the soil and keeping it to gradully tap fertility. At the same time, it is becoming greatly potential to use for chemical industry,environmental protection and food and feed processing. This mineral resource is most rich in the country, with good propects for development.
