Bacteriostatic activity of ion-exchange samples of the Armenian clinoptilolite as new effective sorbent for aqueous systems purification

The purification/decontamination of the different sources waters is actual problem of nowadays since the clean water resources are limited. One of the largely applicable, non-expensive and ecofriendly technological solution for purification/decontamination of waters is usage of sorbents based on natural alumosilicate clays. Within discussed framework the Armenian natural clinoptilolites/heulandites, modified both physically and chemically, are suggested as effective removal agents regret to both inorganic and organic contaminants.
