If we realize what the zeolite can offer us on an individual level ,we would proceed dynamically in its mining in Greece . Since it is difficult to see what we can offer others in this phase of crisis , it would be good to get started by getting involved on an individual level . The zeolite is useful for our fields, our crops , our animals and ourselves , as it filters, withholding heavy metals , toxins and free radicals . Practically, that means that if we use 150kg of zeolite per acre of vine field (this is better to be done at the end of September ,or early October) and this…

Lygeros - Zeolite on an individual levelOne of the important things to understand in relation to the use of zeolite in agriculture is that zeolite deals primarily with our soil and the effect of this action enhances the production. The significance of this observation is best seen when the land is acidic, since in this case 70% of the added fertilizer is useless. It is the soil itself that reacts with it and does not offer the plant but only 30%. While the use of zeolite functions as an equalizer, it enables the conversion of the pH to neutral. In this way when we add fertilizer to this new soil, it works 100% and we have a greater production. This enables you…

Since there is at last, a formal consultation regarding the water protection from agricultural fertilizers, the role of the zeolite must be promoted in this process.
More specifically, it regards the approval of: Code of Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of Waters from nitrates of agricultural sources and livestock activity, which is exactly the field of action of zeolite, since it's already used in deceleration fertilizers. And the reason is simple, since the zeolite is able to absorb ammonia and release it slowly. Consequently, it is a substance that can be effectively…

New research license was given by the Decentralized Administration of Kavala re: the Greek zeolite in the region Black Rock, near the Petrota of Northern Evros.
Therefore, the Thessalonikian company Olympus will continue its efforts in the research field, while simultaneously it's waiting for the last permits, in order to pass through to the general mining license in the area Kokkalo which is also located near Petrota.
This practically means that parallel actions are taking place, so that we save time for the future as well, in order for continuity to occur in regards to other…
This year, we had the third olive picking, for the production of extra virgin green olive oil, from olives that are protected exclusively by zeolite in the context of organic cultivation.
The first detectable evidence we can give, is that of course there was no trace of dacus (bactrocera oleae).
The second element is that the production is higher than the two previous years, and the explanation is that the zeolite has entered its third year of use, and it's active with an absolute efficiency.
The third of course, is that the quality has increased and that the acidity is reduced even more, since by a rough estimate, we are…
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. The size and shape of channels/cavities in zeolites therefore define the structural parameters of a given type of zeolite (1). Properties of zeolites, such as ion exchange, intercrystalline pores that discriminate between molecules of different dimension, strong acidic…

The Greek zeolite becomes a reality during these days. In Kokkalo region, near the village of Petrota in southern Evros, work regarding the research license begins. More specifically, the Olympus company from Thessaloniki begins road construction, as per the permit, at the selected zeolite deposit.
With the road opening, we will have the opportunity of sampling, in order to know in a direct manner, the quality of the zeolite through its percentage within the zeolithic grave.
With his procedure, an historic page opens wide, regarding the Greece of the future, since…
