Talk:Zeolite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Zeolite bed is the core of an oxygen concentrator. The pressure swing adsorption process uses zeolite as a molecular sieve. Room air is compressed into a zeolite bed, then the remaining air components are drawn off. The bed is then released to atmosphere, the zeolite releases the nitrogen, and the process is restarted. By removing the nitrogen from regular air, you get a mixture of mostly oxygen with traces of carbon dioxide and Argon.

Unless someone can put some citations into that mess of a paragraph about QuikClot to clear up whether it's calcium silicate (which the New Scientist article seems to refute, given that it mentions an alternative to QuikClot being made of calcium and silica) or a zeolite (which the New Scientist article doens't explicitly state), the whole thing should be deleted or remarked out of existence until it can properly cited. dil 18:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
