This year saw the third olive harvest for the production of extra virgin green olive oil from olives protected exclusively by zeolite as part of organic farming. The first observation we can make is that, of course, there was no sign of the olive fruit fly. The second is that production is higher than in…

South Africa has large coal reserves. It mainly burns coal to produce electricity at 13 existing coal-burning power plants, situated mainly in Mpumalanga, a province in the country’s east. In South Africa, coal power generation results in at least 36 million tonnes of solid waste residue called fly ash being produced annually. That’s the equivalent of six dumps each…

Mohana Devi Subramaniam and In Ho Kim Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology20156:38 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-015-0037-9 © Subramaniam and Kim. 2015 Abstract Clays are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicate molecules composed of alkali and alkaline earth cations along with small amounts of various other elements. The best-known are montmorillonite, smectite, illite, kaolinite, biotite and clinoptilolite. The molecules in these clays are arranged in three-dimensional structures creating internal…
Carmen Laurino and Beniamino Palmieri University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena (Italy). Abstract Introduction: zeolites (clinoptilolites) are a family of alluminosilicates and cations clustered to form macro aggregates by small individual cavities. In the medical area they are involved in detoxification mechanisms capturing ions and molecules into their holes. Actually, we classify about 140…
