The present invention relates to the production of zeolite particle composites that have average diameters in the range of about 10 mu m to about 180 mu m. These diameter sizes are especially suitable to be used in conjunction with carbon block filters in household potable water applications. The composite particles are produced by mixing 4 to 5 ANGSTROM commercial zeolite with water and organic or inorganic binders. The particles are then calcined at high temperatures to remove water and organic binders, which results in a water-stable structure. The particles are then ground in a low-shear grinder under extremely precise control to produce high yield of particles with particle sizes that are suitable for use with carbon block purifiers and other composite filter elements. |
