Zeolite Clinoptilolite

New developments regarding Greek zeolite and promising prospects for the coming year have been brought about by two new decisions from the Regional Council and the Directorate of Environment and Spatial Planning of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

In this article, you will find the three most important tips for choosing the right zeolite for agricultural use. By following these tips, you will benefit from the significant properties of zeolite right from the very first year.

Zeolite and urea = more nitrogen in the soil + increased yield: this is the experimental result of an interesting study by three scientists from Malaysia. The study was carried out at Universiti Putra by Omar Latifah, Osumanu Haruna Ahmeda and Nik Muhamad Abdul Majid in collaboration with the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education. The experiment Zeolite and urea = more nitrogen in the soil + increased yield The high cost of nitrogen fertilisers leads to practices aimed at optimising their use, whilst minimising nitrate losses. Ammonium adsorption inhibits the loss of nitrogen in the form of nitrate, thereby increasing ... Read more

Structural and Ion-Exchange Properties of Natural Zeolite Aiymgul M. Akimkhan, Laboratory of Ion Exchange Resins, A.B. Bekturov Institute of Chemical Sciences, Ministry of Education and Science, Kazakhstan Introduction Intensive studies into the properties of natural and synthetic zeolites have been conducted since the mid-1960s and 1970s. Among the various examples of zeolite applications, it suffices to mention the emission and purification of normal paraffin hydrocarbons, catalytic reactions involving hydrocarbons, the extraction of radioactive isotopes, the production of catalyst supports, the release of enzymes and the removal of atmospheric pollutants [1–3]. Researchers’ interest in such aluminosilicates stems from the unique properties ... Read more

Chemical analysis of Greek zeolite – N. Ligeros | Zeolife.gr As we are now entering a new phase for Greek zeolite, it is good to have technical data rather than just estimates, as we can carry out XRD and EDX measurements that enable us to avoid generalisations. First and foremost, we should note that the zeolite variety we are examining within the zeolitic tuff is clinoptilolite, and its formula is as follows: (Na,K,Ca)₂₋₃Al₃(Al,Si)₂Si₁₃O₃₆·12H₂O. Zeolites generally contain silicon (Si) and aluminium (Al). Clinoptilolite, however, is additionally characterised by the following elements: Na, K, Ca. Consequently, these are present in the chemical analysis ... Read more

zeolite in hydroponics | Zeolife.gr Hydroponics is an ancient method of growing crops that takes place without soil or earth. Non-aquatic plants grow with their roots in a completely inorganic medium, where they are fed with a nutrient solution. Put simply, the plants grow in water to which the necessary nutrients have been added. The plants’ roots float in the water or on a substrate of ‘pebbles’ through which water constantly flows. In ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, during the Aztec era, and even in the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the method of hydroponics was used. In modern times, hydroponics is ... Read more
