Zeolites in Hydrothermally Altered Rocks | Semantic Scholar
Over the past 40 years, two universally accepted maxims of geology dealing with zeolite minerals have been shown to be incorrect: the first is that zeolites occur primarily as cavity fillings in basaltic igneous rocks, and the second is that these zeolites crystallized from so-called hydrothermal solutions, i.e. thermal waters from depth. We recognize today that …

Studies of anions sorption on natural zeolites | Health
These alterations are dependent on the kind of anions that were sorbed. In all cases, variations are due to bands corresponding to the characteristic Si-O(Si,Al) vibrations (occurring in alumino- and silicooxygen tetrahedra building spatial framework of zeolites).
