One of the areas of application for zeolite that allows for vertical production as well as added value is that of cosmetology and aesthetics. We are already aware of many applications that exploit the molecular sieve property of zeolite, and in particular clinoptilolite. We should therefore not limit ourselves to these applications, especially when they can maximise its utilisation. Clinoptilolite’s ability to act at a molecular level allows us to consider applications – and indeed patents – through chemistry, without, however, suffering the consequences associated with synthetic materials. With natural zeolite, we can remain within the realm of natural products ... Read more

Heating with solar cells and zeolite – Long-term storage Researchers at the University of Stuttgart in Germany are set to test a solar heating system with long-term storage capabilities as part of the “Solspaces”, a three-year programme launched in March 2012. The system is based on a solarthermal system operating in conjunction with a sorption tank, where the heat collected by the solar cells during the warmer months is stored until it is used when temperatures drop. The Solspaces concept can help reduce the storage space required for solar thermal systems and effectively address the issue of retaining heat for ... Read more

Greek quality and innovation – Nikos Lygeros When you have a country like our homeland and you wonder what you can do, it is simply a matter of intelligence – or rather, a lack thereof. Greece is characterised by the sun and the sea, which are vast sources of energy. We now know that we have large reserves of hydrocarbons and, through our Exclusive Economic Zone, we can exploit them rationally and strategically. We also have high-quality zeolite, and in large quantities at that; in its form as clinoptilolite , it has a vast array of applications across many sectors. ... Read more

‘From olive oil to zeolado (zeolite olive oil)’ was the title of Nikos Lygeros’s talk in Filiatra on Thursday evening at the Vorreio Cultural Centre, where the distinguished Greek professor spoke about the properties and multiple uses of zeolite, which is found in abundance in Greece. Focusing his talk mainly on its applications in agriculture, he highlighted the significant benefits it can bring to crop production, as when applied to the soil it reduces the need for fertilisers, retains nutrients in the upper soil layers, retains moisture and releases it gradually, whilst, where it has been used, it has shown ...

Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias The term zeolite was coined in 1756 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt , who observed that upon the rapid heating of the mineral stilbite, large quantities of steam was produced from water, which are absorbed by the mineral. Based on this fact, he named this mineral zeolite, from the Greek word Zeo (zeō), which means boil and stone. The zeolites are aluminosilicate members of a family of microporous solids known as molecular sieves. This term refers to a particular capacity, namely the ability to selectively sort out molecules based primarily on a ... Read more
