- The Air India recently airlifted 35 tonnes of Zeolite used in Oxygen Production plants from Rome to Bengaluru.
- Zeolites are used as adsorbent material in Pressure Swing Adsorption.
- An oxygen concentrator uses Zeolites to adsorb atmospheric nitrogen and then vents out the nitrogen.
- This leaves oxygen gas remaining to be used for patients.
- In high pressure, the surface area of zeolites increases and thus is capable of adsorbing large quantities of nitrogen.
