The micronization of zeolite clinoptilolite (M-ZC) is a procedure that breaks down the ZC into small parts accentuating its detoxifying characteristics . This micronization occurs with mills having two counter-rotating parallel blades, which, with a thrust of 2500 km/h and particular aerodynamics, create two counter-rotating airflows [ 46 ].
Clinoptilolite (CLI), mineral from the heulandite group of zeolites, ( (Na,K)6 (Al 6 Si 3 O)O 72 · n H 2 O), is the most abundant sedimentary zeolite in nature. The use of CLI in biomedicine has been demonstrated for the purpose of the external skin treatment, as antidiarrheal remedies, or as an active ingredient in antacid drugs.
Zeolites are porous minerals with high absorbency and ion-exchange capacity. Their molecular structure is a dense network of AlO4 and SiO4 that generates cavities where water and other polar molecules or ions are inserted/exchanged. Even though there are several synthetic or natural occurring species of zeolites, the most …
Clinoptilolite is currently the only zeolite registered in the EU as a medical device and can be used in oral treatment. Zeolite clinoptilolite can be also used as drug carriers and delivery systems. One potentially excitatory pharmacological application of zeolites and mesoporous silicates could be the encapsulation of different ions and ...

Conclusions: These pilot results suggest that oral administration of clinoptilolite may improve lipid profile in individuals with dyslipidemia, which warrants further investigations. …
Papaya cultivation on nutrient deficient acidic peat soils causes poor growth, yield, and fruit quality of this crop. Alkalinity and the high affinity of clinoptilolite zeolite (CZ) for macronutrients could improve pH, nutrient availability, and papaya productivity on peat soils. A one-year field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of CZ on: (i) …
The use of natural clinoptilolite as aluminum source, instead of the usual feldspar, for ceramics and glass production, with significant energy saving, needs a definite content of calcium and sodium, and a given composition of zeolite and non-zeolite mineral phases. The low thermal stability of the calcium clinoptilolite is important. The lower the thermal …
