This work represents the preliminary experiments of an attempt to determine the mechanism of certain chemical exchange reactions taking place when an alkali metal zeolite is treated with a solution of an alkaline-earth metal salt, and vice versa.Chlorides of sodium, barium, and calcium in aqueous solutions of varying concentrations were used. The possible selective action on a zeolite of a solution carrying a mixture of alkaline-earth ions was
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
