Domestic use of Zeolite

C.C.M. Rindt, M. Gaeini, S.Lan, D.M.J. Smeulders Eindhoven University of Technology, PO Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands In summer, the sun provides more heat than needed to warm residential houses while in winter the heat demand cannot be met by solar energy supply. A solution is to store excess solar energy in a thermal ‘battery’ which can be discharged to meet the residential heat demand in winter. A reliable method for seasonal solar heat storage is by means of thermochemical materials (TCMs). The process is based on a reversible adsorption-desorption reaction, which is exothermic in hydration and endothermic ... Read more

Researchers at the Stockholm University in Sweden have developed pacakging from films of zeolite and nanocellulose, taht can remove the odor emanating from food items, such as durian. The films have the potential to absorb the gas molecules contributing to the smell. The material can also be used to keep odor from clothing at bay. Researcher Lennart Bergström was quoted by Chemistry World as saying: “The new material relies on the well-established adsorption of small gas molecules by zeolites; the key novelty lies in the use of nanocellulose as a binder and matrix. “By using nanocellulose as a matrix and ...

[one_half] zeolite in the vineyard – an interview with Grigoris Azoridis | Zeolife.gr [/one_half][one_half_last] Numerous artefacts, inscriptions and wall paintings bear witness to the fact that the art of viticulture began thousands of years ago, evolving alongside humankind. The vine and its products, particularly wine, have been cherished throughout the world, and in our country they have become intertwined with customs, traditions and the joys of everyday life. Soil quality is crucial for abundant fruiting and growth; the richer it is in nutrients, and the freer it is from chemical additives, the higher the quality of the produce will be. ... Read more

27th German Zeolite Conference – 27th Deutsche Zeolith-Tagung The 27th German Zeolite Conference will take place alongside the annual meeting of the Adsorption Section from 25 to 27 February 2015 on the Haarentor Campus of the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. Organised by DECHEMA e.V., it is hosted by the Department of Technical Chemistry at the Institute of Chemistry, in collaboration with the ProcessNet specialist groups on Zeolites and Adsorption. In addition to zeolites, which historically gave this annual conference its name, the range of porous materials with defined structures has now expanded considerably. Microporous metal-organical framework compounds (crystalline coordination ... Read more

Thrace’s zeolite is not a political issue. And if there are any petty politicians and party hacks trying to delay or stop its exploitation in our homeland, they’ll simply get a taste of their own medicine. Because Thrace needs zeolite to bring about change and open up real prospects for the future. We have absolutely no need for ‘colourful’ MPs who have no idea what’s going on and haven’t even been briefed on zeolite because they’re so busy maintaining good neighbourly relations. Having lackeys at local level doesn’t bother us, as it has always been that way throughout our history. ... Read more

Desiccant dehumidifiers using zeolite | Zeolife.gr Desiccant dehumidifiers using zeolite How do desiccant dehumidifiers work? Meaco desiccant dehumidifiers utilise new dehumidification technology, without the use of a motor or compressor, unlike the dehumidifiers we have been familiar with until now. They operate on the basis of using a desiccant material, zeolite, which has the ability to trap moisture particles from the air, converting them into water that is stored in the dehumidifier’s tank or drained away via a pipe. Desiccant dehumidifiers are 100 per cent effective at low temperatures. The major advantage, compared with motorised dehumidifiers, is that Meaco’s new-generation ... Read more

zeolite in fish farming and aquariums | Zeolife.gr One of the most valuable natural products, with numerous beneficial properties for both humans and the environment, is the mineral zeolite. The crystalline structure of natural zeolite gives it a number of beneficial properties, which are mainly related to agriculture, livestock farming, as well as fish farming and mussel farming. However, zeolite can even be used in aquariums or swimming pool filters. During fish rearing in fish farms, as well as in tanks used to transport live fish, it is natural for ammonia to build up, which can quickly contaminate an aquatic environment. ...
