Zeolite in the Chemical Industry

A car that, the more it drives, the less carbon dioxide it leaves behind. It sounds like a contradiction — and yet, Mazda has just proven it under real racing conditions. At the heart of this technology lies neither an exotic catalytic converter nor an expensive battery, but a humble, porous mineral that we at Zeolife.gr know very well: zeolite. Let’s take a look at exactly what Mazda has achieved, and, above all, why zeolite is the material that makes ‘carbon capture on the move’ possible. Mazda’s achievement: 804 grams of CO₂ during a 24-hour race At the Fuji 24-hour ... Read more

zeolite is a natural mineral with many applications, but its origin and processing play an important role in determining where it is best used. Different grades can be used in agriculture 🌱, livestock farming 🐄 or in more specialised applications. Did you know that not all zeolites are the same? 🤔

zeolite helps detergents and cleaning products work more effectively. They leave no residue, do not damage surfaces or fabrics, and provide thorough cleaning. A more sensible and balanced choice for the home and the professional.

zeolite, this unique volcanic mineral with its remarkable purifying and pollutant-binding properties, is nothing new in Greece. The earliest references to the use of zeolite date back to antiquity, when the Greeks harnessed the power of natural rocks for hygiene, food storage and water purification. Today, Greek zeolite, particularly that from the region of Thrace, is internationally recognised for its purity and its clinoptilolite composition. A material that bridges ancient wisdom with modern applications — from agriculture and livestock farming to detoxification and environmental protection. Read more on the greekzeolite.com portal

The need for renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Biogas is a solution that utilises organic waste to produce energy. To be used efficiently, biogas must be upgraded to biomethane. According to this study, one of the most modern upgrading methods is Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, in which zeolites play a significant role. What is biogas and why does it need to be upgraded? Biogas is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, such as agricultural waste, livestock manure and urban sewage. Its main component is methane (CH4), but it also contains carbon dioxide (CO2) and other ... Read more

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our products, we are pleased to announce that three new particle sizes of certified Greek zeolite are now available. In this way, we achieve the best possible results in zeolite applications across a wide range of sectors.

Our company, true to its mission, is immediately commencing the distribution of Greek Thracian Zeolite, which is produced in the Rodopi region.

How is zeolite used in drinking water filters? What properties make it suitable for purifying drinking water?

Photographs from the visit to the quarry and the factory of the company AVGI Ltd, where the extraction of Greek zeolite from Thrace began.

The technical study for the operation of the quarry at Petrota, in the municipality of Nea Orestiada in the prefecture of Evros, for the extraction of Greek zeolite has been approved. The approval covers approximately 30 stremmata in the ‘Palioklissi’ area, north-west of the village of Petrota.

New developments regarding Greek zeolite and promising prospects for the coming year have been brought about by two new decisions from the Regional Council and the Directorate of Environment and Spatial Planning of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.
