Qualitative and semi-quantitative microanalyses and characterization of natural ZEOLITE minerals, which are commonly used in many fields of industry from filters to cleaning products and as additive materials in animal feeds and fertilizers, using XRD-SEM-EDS triple analysis techniques ; - Determining the types and kinds of ZEOLITE group minerals (Clinoptilolite, heulandite, erionite, mordenite and others)

- Investigating the impurities that may be found in the raw material as well as in the zeolite group minerals and which may be

constitute a health risk:

- Qualitative and quantitative determination of possible impurities in quartz, cristobalite and other silica groups, if there are any.

- Determining the crystal morphology (investigating whether there are fibrous crystals)

- Investigating whether there are Lead (Pb) containing minerals.

- Investigating whether there are clay+mica impurities, determining their type and abundance if there are any.

- Stones that are formed through ‘’biomineralization’’, especially in the urinary system of human body,

- ‘’Respirable’’ acicular-fibrous crystal forms found in some zeolite, asbestos and silica group minerals that may be

taken inside the body through respiration and that most of the time cause mesothelioma or silicosis,

Qualitative and semi-quantitative microanalyses and characterizations are conducted using XRD-SEM-EDS triple analysis

techniques, thus providing specialist doctors, dieteticians and patients with analytical assistance which they may need.
