Doctoral thesis, Author: Tzamos, Evangelos Ioannis, Supervisor: Filippidis, A., Professor, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Sciences, Department of Geology. The zeolite-bearing volcanic clastic sediments of Southern Xerovouni (Avdella, Evros Prefecture) contain, on average, 57% by weight of HEU-type zeolite, 6% by weight of smectite, 3% by weight of marmatite (a total of 66% by weight of microporous minerals), 19% by weight of astrios, 10% by weight of cristobalite and 5% by weight of quartz (a total of 34% non-microporous minerals). The chemical composition of these sediments is: 69.9% by weight SiO₂, 13.2% by weight Al₂O₃, 1.2% by weight Fe₂O₃, ... Read more
