“…The results show that the effect of the zeolite and its combination with organic fertilizer not only has its influence on the topsoil but also in depth. Xiubin and Zhanbin, (2001); Ozbahce et al, (2014) ;Ghazavi, (2015); Mirzaei et al, (2015) showed similar results highlighting the effects of zeolite on the aggregation and soil water retention. The dynamic characteristics of Vertisol under wet and dry conditions and the formation of deep cracks produced transfer of substrates from surface to depth which consequently caused a change in the structural diagram of the soil profile (Vidal et al, 2006;Cairo et al, 2012).…”

Maintaining or improving the soil quality is crucial for agricultural productivity. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of zeolite and its combination with chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizers on soil quality and sugarcane yield in the north coast of Cuba, Villa Clara province. The organic fertilizer (sugarcane filter cake-SFC), and natural mineral (zeolite-Z) and chemical fertilization (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium-NPK) were applied as treatments. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design with nine treatments and four replicates. The soil samples were taken at a depth of 0-20 cm to determine soil properties such as degree of soil aggregation, water-stable aggregates, permeability, lower plastic limit, pH in water, pH in KCl, organic matter, assimilable P 2 O 5 and K 2 O. The sugarcane yield components such as cane yield (t ha -1 ) and sucrose yield (t ha -1 ) were evaluated. Principal components analysis (PCA) and simple regression analysis were also performed. The best results on cane yield were obtained with the treatment Z 7.5 t ha -1 + SFC 22.5 t ha -1 , which represent a relative increase of 200% vs control (without fertilization). Relations between soil properties and principal component analysis confirmed the good response of zeolite application on soil quality and sugarcane yield.

“…Using rainfall simulators, Xiubin and Zhanbin (2001) showed that zeolites could increase infiltration into a calcareous loess by 7% to 30% on slopes of 5 to 10 degrees and by 50% on 20-degree slopes as compared with untreated soil, but the authors did not specify the zeolite application rate. Bigelow et al (2001) amended putting green sand with 10% zeolite, noting faster creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera v. palustris Huds.…”

“…Often used mineral substances of highly developed surface are silica and alumina while among organic substances are both chemical compounds of defined composition, like acenaphthene, naphthalene, formaldehyde, alcohols, and mixtures of organic substances, for instance olefins and industrial waste [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…Given amount of pitch (or pitch-polymer composition) in adequate mass ratio with aluminum hydroxide was dissolved in 200 cm 3 of N-methylpyrollidone. Such mixture was placed in a thermostat heated at 100°C, and 0.5 M aluminum chloride and 1.5 M ammonia aqueous solutions were dosed into the mixture at constant rate.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of producing hydrophobic mesoporous mineralcarbon sorbents from aluminum hydroxide and compositions of coal tar pitch-polymers on carbonization at 600°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Blends of the products of co-precipitation of aluminum hydroxide in the carbonaceous substances medium were subjected to carbonization process. The extent of porous structure development was evaluated using low temperature nitrogen adsorption, adsorption of benzene vapors, and adsorption of iodine from aqueous solution. The highest value of BET surface area of about 370 m 2 /g was achieved for the carbonization product obtained from co-precipitated raw components with 10 wt% compositions coal tar pitch-polymer. These materials demonstrated high capacity to reduce organic pollutions from sewage. Pitch-polymer composition containing poly(ethylene terephthalate) or phenol-formaldehyde resin was studied by the means of DSC method in order to determine the high-temperature transformations taking place under the conditions of carbonization. DSC method enables to determine i.a. the decomposition temperatures of carbonizates produced from pitch-polymer compositions and the evaluation of their sorption abilities. The additive of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and phenol-formaldehyde resin caused the increase of thermal resistance of the pitch expressed by higher decomposition temperatures.
