Zeolites useful for removing radiation from the body

How can victims of radiation detox from this insidious insult? The answer lies in the use of natural zeolites, a class of
natural minerals from volcanic ash that can help the body get rid of heavy metals and detox radiation sickness, even up
to uranium 238!

Zeolites for water and wastewater treatment: An overview

Rostislaw Kaischew Institute of Physical Chemistry, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria
Abstract:
Zeolites are natural or synthetic microporous crystalline aluminosilicates, which have unique ion exchange and sorption properties, and are widely used in a large number of water treatment processes, such as water softening and purification from ammonia, heavy and radioactive metals.

Abstract The aim of the present work was to estimate the bactericidal activity and efficacy of silver pre-treated clinoptilolite-rich tuff from Marsid (Romania) in solid media (agar plates) against Gram-negative Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.

Medical Applications of Zeolites

I. INTRODUCTION A particular structural feature of zeolites relative to other aluminosilicate materials, and other crystalline materials in general, is the existence of channels and/or cavities linked by channels. One of the characteristics that distinguishes zeolites from other porous materials is their variety of pore sizes and shapes.

Modified natural clinoptilolite with quercetin and quercetin dihydrate and the study of their anticancer activity

Abstract Natural zeolite of the clinoptilolite type (CT, particle size up to 200 lm) and its modified forms with different
content (0.06–5%) of pharmaceutically active compounds (type of flavonoids): quercetin (Q) and quercetin dihydrate (QD) have been investigated by thermal analyses TG, DTA and DTG, FTIR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, determination of the surface areas and the pore volumes by low-temperature adsorption of nitrogen and atomic force microscopy.

Abstract. The article presents data from the results of a study to determine the effectiveness of using unconventional feed additives for horse productivity in Yakutia. To conduct scientific experiments, 3 groups of horses of the indigenous Yakut breed were formed, 12 animals each. In order to enrich animal diets by macro and microelements, as well as to increase horse productivity in winter, the effect of zeolite-sapropelic feed additives on milk production and physiological state of animals was studied.

Studying the metabolism of horses when feeding them zeolite-sapropel feed additives in the conditions of Yakutia

To cite this article: M F Grigorev et al 2020 IOP Conf. Ser.: Earth Environ. Sci. 548 042008
Abstract. The article presents the results of study on the effect of zeolite-sapropel feed additives on the metabolism of mares in Central Yakutia. Three groups of horses were formed to conduct scientific experiments. These groups were selected based on the principle of analogues, which took into account age, body weight and fatness. The control group got a basic ration.

Increase in meat productivity of young cattle and horses when using environmentally friendly feed additives

Abstract. The article presents the outcomes of studies confirming the feasibility of using zeolite-containing additives with the objective to optimize the diet of young cattle and horses by the content of minerals in it in order to increase their meat productivity. The research has been conducted in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiviral properties of clinoptilolite, a natural non-toxic zeolite. Herein, a fine powder of micronized zeolite (MZ) was obtained by tribomechanical micronization of natural clinoptilolite. Different viral suspensions were treated with MZ in concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 50mg/ml.

Brazilian sedimentary zeolite use in agriculture

Abstract Zeolites are hydrated crystalline aluminosilicate minerals of alkaline and alkaline earth metals, structured in
rigid three dimension nets, organized by AlO4 and SiO4 tetrahedral and are of natural occurrence. This report
describes the characterization and application of the Brazilian zeolitic sedimentary rock as a release fertilizer
and soil conditioner.

Using Zeolites in Agriculture

AS agriculturalists the world over increase their effort to expand crop and animal production, more and more attention is being paid to various mineral materials as soil amendments and as dietary supplements in animal husbandry.
