La zeolita en la mitigación ambiental

Abstract

The use of chemical products in the agricultural activity, as the fertilizers, generates a negative environmental impact when the ions dissolved in those fertilizers pass directly to the underground waters through the edaphic lixiviations of the soil. The addition of zeolite, a natural clay, creates a molecular layer able to retain ions in the soil, making the soil-plants system more efficient in terms of hiogher production per area unit and less contamination of the water from the aquifers.
