Zeolite and the Thessalian Plain – N. Lygeros

When we consider the fundamental problems that exist, particularly as regards farmers, it is difficult to understand the delay in the Thessalian Plain regarding the use of zeolite. In the Peloponnese and Crete, there has been tremendous growth in this area, because many farmers have realised the benefits it brings to product quality and productivity, meeting high standards that enable strong exports to Europe as well as to Russia. The problem is that the state isn’t helping, and everything relies on private initiatives. Consequently, those who are fighting to change things at a government level are not only wasting energy ...

Greece is changing through large-scale projects – N. Lygeros

No matter how hard they try to convince us, pessimistic approaches remain just that and do absolutely nothing to change the situation. Because it is only through large-scale projects that Greece can change and secure a future. Among these projects we include the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) with the EuroAsia Interconnector power cable, the EastMed natural gas pipeline, Greek zeolite with all its applications, and Greek innovation on the international stage. For these are not merely on a par with the Egnatia Motorway or the Ionian Motorway, or even the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, but they far exceed them, because they ... Read more

The Free Besieged Will Survive – N. Lygeros

When we look at the problems we face, over time we come to realise that they stem not from their very nature, but from the way they are managed. So whilst we may have the impression that things are difficult, at least at first, after so many attempts we see that it is ultimately our own incompetence that traps us. We are, then, free yet besieged in our own homeland, but not by foreigners, merely by those we chose to solve our problems, without realising that this does not, in essence, concern them. For it is inconceivable that, after all ... Read more

Evaluation of Green Compost and Zeolite to Improve Soil Quality for Dubai as part of the Sustainable City programme (Evaluating Green Compost and Zeolite to Enhance Soil Quality for Dubai Sustainable City)

Evaluating Green Compost and Zeolite to Enhance Soil Quality for Dubai Sustainable City Language: English Thematic Areas: Natural Resources Management in Marginal Environments Problem Overview: In the United Arab Emirates, the soils are dominantly sandy and infertile and require frequent irrigation to maintain a healthy landscape under hot climate. However, little has been done in this respect on UAE soils for urban landscaping projects such as Dubai Sustainability City, and hence this subject has formed the focus of this study, involving zeolite and compost produced by Tadweer Waste Treatment L.L.C. in different quantities, tested in the laboratory and greenhouse trial. ...

International Symposium on Zeolites and Microporous Crystals 2015 – Recent Advances in Zeolite Research (International Symposium on Zeolites and Microporous Crystals 2015 – Recent Advances in Zeolite Research)

Article Synopsis The International Symposium on Zeolite and Microporous Crystals 2015 (ZMPC2015) was held at the Sapporo Convention Center, Japan, from 28th June to 2nd July 2015 and had 435 attendees from 32 countries, with 75% from Japan, China, Korea or Taiwan. 396 presentations covered all aspects of zeolites and microporous crystals over four days. Catalysis and synthesis were the two main themes (46% of all presentations) with the others being: new porous materials; membranes and films; adsorption and diffusion; characterisation; novel applications; industrial applications; layered materials; computational chemistry; post-synthetic treatment; crystallography; and ion exchange. There were six plenary talks ... Read more

Biological and therapeutic effects of ortho-silicic acid and some ortho-silicic acid-releasing compounds open up new prospects for treatment (Biological and therapeutic effects of ortho-silicic acid and some ortho-silicic acid-releasing compounds: New perspectives for therapy)

Abstract Silicon (Si) is the most abundant element present in the Earth’s crust besides oxygen. However, the exact biological roles of silicon remain unknown. Moreover, the ortho-silicic acid (H4SiO4), as a major form of bioavailable silicon for both humans and animals, has not been given adequate attention so far. Silicon has already been associated with bone mineralization, collagen synthesis, skin, hair and nails health atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, immune system enhancement, and with some other disorders or pharmacological effects. Beside the ortho-silicic acid and its stabilized formulations such as choline chloride-stabilized ortho-silicic acid and sodium or potassium silicates (e.g. M2SiO3; M= ... Read more

Zeolite: Freedom from the ‘katsigaro’ – N. Lygeros

If there is one major problem that zeolite can definitively solve through its application, it is the issue of goat manure for olive growers. Those unfamiliar with the difficulty of this issue, due to the odour and toxicity involved, cannot fully appreciate the pressures placed on olive oil producers when dealing with olive pomace. Whereas, with the use of zeolite, the solution is simple. And this is not merely an experimental stage that has taken place exclusively in a research laboratory. Following a lecture on zeolite in Nemea, we came into contact with three-phase olive oil mills. Specifically, for 500 ... Read more
