Abstract:

Technological analyses of zeolites are important for their areas of use. Zeolite samples were collected from different regions (İzmir-Foça, Balıkesir-Bigadiç, Manisa-Gördes) for this study. First mineralogical and chemical analyses of the samples were conducted in the study. Later on, technological tests of the samples were made for their utilizing in ceramic industry (pre-technological), in paper industry (filling and coating) and as cat litter. Finally, the results were evaluated. It was concluded that some samples can be used in baked ceramics in the ceramic industry; they have high whitening properties to be used in paper industry. As for cement additives, their flexural strength is observed in a range between 0,94 - 12,85 kgf/cm2 while their compressive strength is between 2,08 - 51,20 kgf/cm2. The porosity of some samples is above 40% which means they meet the criteria to be used as soil conditioners.
