PRESS REVIEW ABOUT ZEOLITE

• Detergent-free  Hygiene by Nanotechnology (12.09.2007)

 
Nanotechnology researchers  at ODTU study on generating surfaces that   do not keep germs by using cheaper methods.

Researchers, obtained composite materials by processing silver and zeolite. When laboratory phase of the project is completed ,it’s planned to be used for detergent-free hygiene in hospitals and schools.

• TUBITAK awarded a high school student the first prize for her project about zeolite (13.09.2007)

 
High School student Kevser Uz attended a support program of TUBITAK about zeolite. The name of her Project is : “A New Hot Water Supply Created by Environment-friendly Zeolite”. TUBITAK awarded her the first prize. She also won the  2007 Stockholm Water Prize among young people.

• Zeolite can be preferred rather than salt, for frost protection on the highways  (25.01.2006)

 
Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul, declared that using zeolite instead of salt on highways is a better method, because it’s cheaper and more effective. He also said: ”Turkey uses 90 thousand tones of salt per year. Natural zeolite reserve of zeolite is approximately 50 billion tones. Total cost of salt used for highways  last year is 50 trillion Turkish Lira's. So usage of zeolite instead of salt will help us save money.”
