zeoliter

Zeoliter is a term occasionally encountered in informal writings and discussions about zeolite materials. It is not an officially defined unit in the International System of Units, nor is it widely adopted in peer‑reviewed literature. In most uses, zeoliter functions as a conceptual or colloquial measure referring to the quantity of zeolite rather than a precise standardized unit.

Because there is no standard definition, the meaning of a zeoliter can vary. Some authors treat it

To avoid ambiguity, sources using the term should specify the chosen definition, along with relevant parameters

as
a
unit
of
volume
equivalent
to
one
liter
of
bulk
zeolite
material,
including
its
porosity
and
voids.
Others
describe
it
as
a
measure
of
zeolite
content
in
a
column
or
bed,
defined
as
the
amount
of
zeolite
needed
to
occupy
one
liter
of
packed
bed
at
a
specified
porosity
or
density.
Still
others
define
it
as
a
mass
corresponding
to
one
liter
of
crystalline
zeolite
at
a
reference
density,
such
as
2.2
g/cm3,
or
as
a
fraction
of
a
mixture
proportional
to
zeolite
content.
(density,
porosity,

In
practice,
researchers
prefer
standard
metrics
such
as
mass,
volume,
surface
area,
pore
volume,
and
adsorption
capacity,
and
reserve
the
term
for
informal
discussion
or
pedagogical
contexts.
