Abstract

Alumosilicate materials zeolites are widely exploited due to porous structure and ion-exchange properties in several industrial, agriculture and veterinary applications. The mainly used zeolite for medical purposes in animals and humans is the natural zeolite clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite may be prepared for medical applications by different methods that are usually based on mechanical or tribomechanical processing that increase specific surface area. Different processing procedures are known to cause substantial changes in the physical-chemical properties of the material that may affect biological properties as well. In this paper we therefore, (1) systematically analysed physical-chemical characteristics of three clinoptilolite materials obtained by different production methods and one synthetic zeolite to provide novel evidence on structural differences caused by production methods and (2) evaluated clinoptilolite materials detoxification properties in vitro and in AlCl3 - intoxicated rats in vivo. We analysed a new clinoptilolite material as well, that was prepared by tribomechanical double micronization and oxygenation. Our results clearly show that each tested clinoptilolite material differs in physical-chemical properties and that these are linked to the production method. Our results add knowledge on toxicology and safety properties of clinoptilolite materials as no aluminium leakage was observed from clinoptilolite materials into the blood or organs of tested animals. Presented results therefore, prove for the first time the efficiency of clinoptilolite in detoxification of aluminium in vivo, provide scientific data on clinoptilolite safety issues and usage for detoxification purposes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
