The formula of zeolite is typically expressed as Mx/n[(AlO2)x(SiO2)y]ยทzH2O, where M represents the cation, x and y are the number of atoms of aluminum and silicon, respectively, and n and z are the charge and number of water molecules, respectively. The specific formula may vary depending on the type of zeolite.
The chemical formula for sodium zeolite is typically represented as Na2Al2Si5O12.
"Permutit" generally refers to a type of synthetic zeolite used for ion exchange in water treatment. Zeolite exhaustion occurs when the zeolite is unable to exchange ions effectively anymore. To regenerate exhausted zeolite, it is typically washed with a salt solution to displace the unwanted ions and restore its ion exchange capacity.

Yes, zeolite is a desiccant. It has a high affinity for water molecules and is often used in desiccant packets to absorb moisture in various applications such as food storage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
The chemical formula for sodium zeolite is typically represented as Na2Al2Si5O12.
It's AlNa12SiO5.

There is much debate between which is better. In almost every case, a zeolite powder or zeolite capsule will contain more zeolite than any liquid but that isn't the only important factor. It is believed that liquid zeolite's are more rapidly absorbed by the body and also contain carriers such as fulvic/humic acids, trace minerals, among others. These carriers help bring the zeolites in deeper. Generally zeolite powder products don't have carriers, some that do are Super Z Lite Capsules and ZeoPowder. It's probably best to take both zeolite powder and liquid zeolite to ensure maximum zeolite dosage and absorption (from the carriers in the liquid zeolite).

No, zeolite is not magnetic. Zeolite is a crystalline mineral made up of silicon, aluminum, and oxygen with a unique porous structure that allows it to trap and filter molecules. It does not have magnetic properties.
Yes, zeolite can be cleaned and reused. It can be cleaned with a saltwater solution, and then it can be used again.
The zeolite process uses zeolite minerals to exchange ions in water softening, whereas the permutit process uses synthetic ion-exchange resins. Zeolite is a natural material, while permutit is a manufactured synthetic resin. Both processes work by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions in hard water with sodium ions to soften the water.
Yes
In the zeolite process, hard water passes through a bed of zeolite crystals containing sodium ions. The zeolite selectively exchanges its sodium ions for the calcium and magnesium ions in the hard water, effectively softening it by removing the mineral ions that cause hardness. This process eliminates the scaling and other issues caused by hard water.

Zeolite can remove radiation from any kind of food, as long as it gets inside the food. The Russians used Zeolite inside of their cookies to remove radiation and any other chemicals that might have made it into the food. It would probably take longer for the Zeolite to gather the radiation from ready made food, but what I've read, Zeolite can attract radiation, so it wouldn't matter if it was being used inside ready food or when you are making it. As long as you give the Zeolite time to attract the radiation (about 10 or 15 minutes) then you should be radiation free!
