Solar Cooling System Preserves Food Without Electricity Solar Cooling System Preserves Food Without Electricity An eco-friendly and inexpensive cooling system developed by a Mexican researcher uses solar energy to maintain the temperature of food and water at nine degrees Celsius for three months. Refrigeration systems have been in the spotlight ever since they were found to be polluting the atmosphere with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), causing depletion of the ozone layer. Since the 1970s, the negative impact of these compounds has been globally recognised and heavily regulated. Nevertheless, their use in refrigeration systems remains widespread, and will continue to do so until ... Read more

Keratex Zeolite – a dietary supplement for horses New from the experts at Keratex, Zeolite represents a revolution in the way we supplement our horses’ feed. Keratex Zeolite™ is completely new to the equine market; it acts as a 100 per cent natural detox, internally cleansing the horse’s digestive system whilst trapping the maximum amount of nutrients available in standard feeds and supplements for the horse’s benefit. For hundreds of years, this naturally occurring volcanic clay mineral ash known as Zeolite has been described as nature’s best detox. Often regarded as an internal cleansing supplement, zeolite has been used by ... Read more

The Application of Natural Zeolites in Animal Science and Aquaculture F. A. Mumpton and P. H. Fishman 1,2 Summary As agriculturalists step up their efforts to expand crop and animal production, numerous mineral materials are receiving greater attention as soil amendments and as dietary supplements in animal husbandry. The zeolite group of minerals stands out from the rest, and its exciting array of physical and chemical properties promises to contribute to many areas of agriculture and aquaculture over the next decade. Their abundance and availability have aroused considerable interest in research stations across several countries, although the number of publications ... Read more

zeolite: a developmental innovation in agriculture and livestock farming Lecture by Nikos Lygeros on the topic: ‘zeolite: a developmental innovation in agriculture and livestock farming’. Multipurpose Hall, Polystilo, Kavala. Part II

Babak Ahmadi *, Mohammad Shekarchi Construction Materials Institute, Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran abstract Natural zeolite, a type of frame-structured hydrated aluminosilicate mineral, is used abundantly as a type of natural pozzolanic material in some regions of the world. In this work, the effectiveness of a locally quarried zeolite in enhancing mechanical and durability properties of concrete is evaluated and is also compared with other pozzolanic admixtures. The experimental tests included three parts: In the first part, the pozzolanic reactivity of natural zeolite and silica fume were examined by a thermogravimetric method. In ... Read more

Li J1, Cao W, Lv XX, Jiang L, Li YJ, Li WZ, Chen SZ, Li XY. 1Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University, Xi’an 710038, China. Abstract AIM: To examine the changes in electrolyte concentrations in blood following the addition of the zeolite-based haemostatic agent QuikClot, and the effects of zeolite on blood coagulation in vitro. METHODS: Fresh blood was collected from healthy adult volunteers and sheep, and the electrolyte concentrations in the blood were measured using a blood electrolyte analyser. Zeolite Saline Solution (ZSS) was prepared by adding 2 g of zeolite to ... Read more

Use of a zeolite-containing biologically active food supplement in patients with burn injuries [Article in Russian] Maianskaia NN, Blagitko EM, Poliakevich AS, Vokhmintseva LV, Novoselov IaB, Maianskaia SD. Abstract The content of cationic protein in blood neutrophils, the serum activity of lysosomal enzymes, the intensity of lipid peroxidation, serum antioxidant activity and the blood concentration of trace elements were assessed in patients with burn injuries. Some patients received, in addition to their main treatment, a zeolite-containing biologically active food supplement (BAAF) ‘Lytovit’, which possesses sorption and selective ion-exchange properties. Prior to the start of treatment, all patients exhibited high levels ... Read more

Characterization of Cement Pastes Containing Natural Zeolite as a Pozzolanic Admixture Characterization of Cement Pastes Containing Natural Zeolite as a Pozzolanic Admixture Abstract A possible use of natural zeolite originating from a mining area in South Slovakia as a pozzolanic material suitable for the partial cement replacement in composite production is studied. Measurement of chemical composition of natural zeolite is performed using XRF analysis. The particle size distribution of zeolite and dry paste mixtures is accessed on laser diffraction principle. For the tested pastes, basic physical properties and mechanical properties are determined. The obtained results indicate a good potential for ... Read more
