Abstract
Description
Natural zeolites occur in Wyoming in tuffaceous sediments in several different rock formations in several basins throughout the state. Zeolites are used in a wide variety of applications worldwide from agriculture and household applications to high-tech industrial uses. Natural zeolites are less expensive to produce than synthetic alternatives and are thus preferred for many applications.
