AGRICULTURE
Clinoptilolite zeolite has been
used for years in animal
feed as a flow agent and
to increase the
durability of pellets.
Livestock research with
clinoptilolite zeolite inclusion
in feed has shown
positive results in the
colonization of
beneficial
micro-organisms, pH
reduction and overall
health benefits.*
The high
cation-exchange-capacity
allows it to capture
ammonium, which inhibits
the development of odor
from ammonia in
confinement systems,
composting, and
anaerobic digestion.
When applied to the
soil, nitrogen
(ammonium) held in
clinoptilolite zeolite is
gradually released to
support plant growth, to
conserve nitrogen and
minimize groundwater
contamination.
INDUSTRIAL
The water filtration
industry has used
clinoptilolite zeolite for years
for swimming pool
filtration and municipal
water treatment.
Clinoptilolite zeolite has also
been used to control
odors and remove toxins
from the air. The mining
industry uses
clinoptilolite to
control ammonia in
blasting and to clean
effluents. Environmental
remediation efforts have
recognized that the high
cation-exchange capacity
of clinoptilolite
zeolite is
effective for the
removal of ammonium,
heavy metals, light
metals, sodium and
radioactive isotopes
from groundwater.
Medical researchers are
discovering applications
for clinoptilolite; such
as an adjuvant in cancer
therapy, blood
coagulant, wound
dressing, cholesterol
reducer, anti-viral
agent, de-toxicant,
anti-oxidant and as a
treatment to alleviate
digestive disorders.*
