Essentially, the mineral serves as a sponge that drinks liquids ( absorption ) and in the process matter and gases adhere to the surface of internal pores.

This two properties work together to fight odors especially in farm litter areas.

Zeolite aids in the process of manure composting and acts an odor control agent because of ability to absorb and adsorb liquids, gases and suspended matter. Zeolite controls odors by absorbing moisture from the waste and adsorbing the ammonia produced by microbial activity on the liquids.

Zeolite is successful odor control agent because of its ability to absorb and adsorb liquids and gases.

Essentially, the mineral serves as a sponge that drinks liquids (absorption) and in the process matter and gases adhere to the surface of internal pores. This two properties work together to fight odors especially in farm litter areas.

Ammonium (NH4+) in liquid and solid wastes is constantly undergoing conversion to ammonia gas (NH3). Zeolite controls odors by absorbing moisture from waste and adsorbing the ammonia produced by microbial activity on the liquids.

On this way natural zeolite improves the quality of manure that is used as a fertilizer because it prevents the loss of plant available nitrogen that is released from solid waste when ammonia vaporizes. Instead of being lost to the atmosphere, nitrogen is returned to the soil.

Zeolite is environmentally friendly product,non-toxic and is safe for use in areas that are occupied by people and animals.

25 tons per month of zeolite spreading on the floors of a swine-raising facility absorbed excess liquid waste and reduced the moisture content of excrement. The same effect is examined the use of zeolite in poultry farms to reduce ammonia concentration in the air.As an added benefit, the droppings treated by zeolite contained higher nitrogen levels,as it was not released from the waste in the form of ammonia.
