estimated about more than 10 billion tons according to this production
The map for location: Production land is about

11. About Zeolite
Zeolites are described as hydrated
aluminum silicates. According to the lexical
meaning of the term “Zeolite” means
"boiling stone” . It was discovered by
Freiherr Axel Fredrick Cronstedt, a famous
Swedish mineralogist, in 1756.
Millions of years ago, the zeolites have
been formed due to the chemical reaction
of ash and lavas as a result of volcano
explosion with the lakes and sea water.
The varieties such as the temperature
geological location-water/ash ratio provide
the zeolites with unique specifications. 50
natural zeolite types have been defined
with different compositions in last200
years. Clinoptilolite is the one that has
been widely used with industrial purpose
featuring the commercial value.
The cage-shaped structure of zeolites makes a wide internal and outer surface area for ion
exchange and chemical reactions. The pores cover the volume by 50%. These pores function
as the molecular sieve. Zeolites are naturally loaded negative and capable of high ion
exchange. Due to the porous structure and high ion exchange capacity, the zeolites are
capable to keep and absorb many kinds of gas and odor, water and moisture, petrochemical
substances, low level radioactive elements, ammonium, toxins, heavy metals and many
solutions. Thanks to environmentally friendly and low costs, zeolite is used in many industrial
areas and a variety of environmental projects.
12. CLINOPTILOLITE
Millions tons of zeolites are used globally every year. The most widespread zeolite group is
clinoptilolite. Main usage areas are; agricultural products (fertilizer additive and soil amendment),
construction sector, radioactive and other pollution refinement. Clinoptilolite have hundreds of usage
areas thanks to their high cation exchange, heavy metal removal, water retention capacity and large
surface area.
Some of them are as follows;
Mineral fertilizer additive and soil conditioner for
animal and farming applications
Mineral fertilizer additive and soil conditioner for
gardening applications
Building and construction material
Cement additive
Removal of oil spills
Desiccants
Water filtration
Domestic purposes
Carrier of pesticide and herbicide

poultries, bovine and ovine animals. Product may also be added to the drinking water of aminals, at the same
rate. It supports digestion, removes hazardous substances(such as ammonia, ammonium, heavy metals,
mycotoxins) quickly from their metabolisms and enhances growth of animals. You can safely use Nat-Min
9000 which is produced from totally natural minerals.
Nat-Min 9000 provides improvement of the appetite of the animals, regulation of digestion system and
strengthening of the immune system.
17. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Using AGRO-CLINO in Plant Nutrition
Clinoptilolite releases its natural nutritional elements into soil by ion exchange.
Thus, nutritional elements enrich the soil. It also maintains cation exchange and
water retention feature for a long time since it is not dissolved in water.
AGRO-CLINO as Soil Conditioner
AGRO-CLINO is an excellent soil conditioner with its high cation exchange capacity, water retention and adsorption
features. In a research conducted in China, yield of the products like potato, corn and wheat has increased between 5,8 -
14,14% by its addition to soil in certain quantities. It was stated that clinoptilolite improved water regime of the soil and
prevented washing of the nutritional elements in soil.
Effects of AGRO-CLINO on Benefiting from Fertilizer
• AGRO-CLINO can function in plant nutrition as ionic fertilizer additive by translocation with ammonium and
potassium. Besides, the most important macro-nutritional elements, potassium and nitrogen and the most important
micro elements, iron, copper, manganese and zinc can be provided by means of AGRO-CLINO.
• AGRO-CLINO prevents nitrogen fertilizer from being washed with high selectivity of clinoptilolite against ammonia and
high ammonium exchange capacity.
• As the particle size of clinoptilolite decreases, its surface area and water retention capacity increases. Moisture rate
detained in the soil increased as well, based on the implemented clinoptilolite dosage.
18. USAGE
Turf can be mixed with chemical fertilizer and farm fertilizer and used in cultivation of all plants under field
and greenhouse conditions.
In fruit trees such as apple, cherry, peach, nut, apricot, quince, plum and banana, it is mixed with soil to
branch knot at root level.
Amount to be used depends on the plant and soil structure.
For fruit trees: 2-6 kg/tree
For industrial plants: 50 kg/da
For vegetables: 50 kg/da
Greenhouses: 150-200 kg/da
Cereal production: 50 kg/da
Nut production: 2,5 - 5 kg/da
Strawberry production: 100-150 kg/da
19. ANIMAL LITTER PRODUCTS
ZETA is a 100% natural product that can be used directly or mixed with other base
plate materials with its high water retention capacity, and ability to adsorb ammonia
gas due to its ion exchange feature. Both of the positive features of the product can
be clearly seen in animal base plate applications.
Unpleasant odor caused by ammonia is one of the most serious health problems
encountered in stables of cattle, poultry coops and living environment of pets.
UREA + WATER = = > AMMONIA GAS + CARBON DIOXIDE GAS
ZETA’s function can be summarized as removing the moisture on the base plate and
ammonia gas that occurs. Therefore, a base plate material with higher water
retention capacity is required.
USAGE
ZETA is used by mixing with wood shavings or other adsorbent materials such as bentonite.
ZETA also keeps the living environment of animals sterile. It is already known that gelling feature
of sepiolite and bentonite is fine. However, ZETA has to be coupled with these products when
natural and permanent solution is sought for odor control.
We serve you ZETA in 25 kg. packages.

21. Regeneration: FILTER CLINO is rechargeable and can be used again and again. It can be recharged generally
through a sodium chloride salted water process. 20 g NaCl solution is prepared with 1 liter of water. FILTER CLINO is
well washed before using in filtration system. After recharging, salted water solution will contain ammonium. FILTER
CLINO is replaced by time due to saturation and saturated FILTER CLINO can be used as soil amendment as well.
Using FILTER CLINO in Urban Drinking Water Filtration: FILTER CLINO’s function has three aspects;
Physical filtration; micro sized grains (< 4 micron) are adsorbed on the blanks of mineral grains
Chemical filtration; FILTER CLINO is a fine cation exchanger used in removing heavy metals ( Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn, Co,
Cr, Mn, As, Hg, etc) and ammonium,
Adsorbs bacteria, algae and various coloring substances).
Thanks to its wide surface area, molecular sieve, high cation exchange feature, FILTER CLINO can be used instead
of quartz sand in filtration environments where quartz sand is used.
FILTER-CLINO in Aqua Culture Applications: Fish population significantly declined due to reasons such as pollution
of the seas with industrial and domestic waste and demolition of fish beds due to excessive hunting. This event, led
people to different areas to meet the needs of fish. Fish farms and salmon production plants were established in the
seas and fresh waters.
In such systems, where closed or circulatory water tanks are used, ammonium occurs as a result of separation of
excrement and feed remnant, which has a toxic effect for fish.
FILTER-CLINO is used in cleaning these waters much more effectively and safely compared to standard biological
systems thanks to its selectivity against Ammonium and Ammonium exchange capacity.
FILTER CLINO in Industrial Waste Water Filtration: Heavy metal ions contained by waste water have been
restricted according o EU environmental laws. FILTER CLINO adsorbs easily many monovalent and divalent heavy
metals and also used as an adsorbent or cation exchanger in industrial applications.
Usage
FILTER CLINO can bu used directly in filter media. For drinking water treatments; it is mixed with quartz sand in equal
proportions. It can be also mixed with active carbon, resin or other filter materials. It can be regenerated by NaCl
solution easily.
Packaging
In 25 or 50 kg pp bags.
22. AQUARIUM PRODUCT
Filter Clino-Bio, can be used safely in aquariums as a large ornamental stone and filtrating material.
Product reduces the amount and adverse effects of ammonia, and the fish live in a healthy
environment where they can also use as feed.
Because its appearance is like a natural tuff, Filter Clino-Bio will match easily with other ornamental
stones and materials in the aquarium.
Filter Clino-Bio is provided in 10-25 kg packages.
