How selective is the zeolite in what it absorbs? Could this be used for water purification? That is, if you let the zeolite absorb water from an impure source, move it to a clean container and heat it to release the water, is the water potable? Even if it selectively absorbs water to remove contaminants, does the zeolite itself make the water non-potable?
