Natural zeolite is an emerging material that is widely used in industry, agriculture, defense and other sectors, and its use is constantly expanding. Zeolite is used as an ion exchanger, adsorption separating agent, desiccant, catalyst, cement mixture.

Quartz sand is quartz particles formed by crushing and processing quartz stone. Quartz stone is a non-metallic mineral, which is a hard, wear-resistant and chemically stable silicate mineral. The color of quartz sand is milky white, or colorless translucent, Mohs hardness 7.Common specifications are: 0.5-1mm, 1-2mm, 2-4mm, 4-8mm, 8-16mm, 16-32mm, 10-20 mesh, 20-40 mesh, 40-80 mesh, 100-120 mesh.

Vermiculite is a natural, inorganic, non-toxic mineral that expands under high temperature. It is a relatively rare mineral, belonging to the silicate group. Its crystal structure is monoclinic crystal system, and its appearance is similar to mica.

Kaolin is a kind of non-metallic mineral. It is a kind of clay and clay rock dominated by kaolinite group clay minerals. Because of its white and delicate, also known as dolomite. It is named after Gaoling Village, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province.

Non-toxic. Medical stone is a compound mineral or medicinal rock that is non-toxic and harmless to organisms and has certain biological activity. The main chemical composition of medical stone is inorganic silicaluminate. Including SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, FeO, MgO, CaO, K2O, Na2O, TiO2, P2O5, MnO, etc., also contains some of the major elements required by animals, such as: K, Na, Ca, Mg, Cu, Mo and other trace elements and rare earth elements, about 58 kinds of.

Mica is a kind of rock forming mineral with hexagonal lamellar crystal shape and is one of the main rock forming minerals. Mica crystal has a layered structure inside, so it is lamellar crystal, mainly hexagonal lamellar crystal. Characteristics are insulation, high temperature resistance, the most used in industry is sericite, widely used in paint, paint, electrical insulation and other industries.

Coral sand is a fragment of coral or shell that consistently releases calcium carbonate and comes in a variety of sizes and sizes. The biggest feature of coral sand is that it is rich in micropores, suitable for the survival of a large number of biochemical bacteria, and can be used as a filter material.

Zeolite is mainly volcanic sedimentary rock, because the organic matter in the sedimentary rock is liquefied or vaporized, and the formation of fine holes, and these holes are just the living places of nitrifying bacteria. Zeolite is composed of aluminosilicate and other minerals, and has cation adsorbability.

Dolomite powder is an anhydrous carbonate mineral powder, mainly composed of calcium and magnesium carbonate. It can be used as raw materials for the production of high-grade glassware, medical bottles, and optical glass.

Sepiolite fiber is a natural mineral fiber, is a fibrous variant of sepiolite minerals, called α-sepiolite.Sepiolite has good heat resistance, sepiolite also has good ion exchange and catalytic properties, and excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, insulation, heat insulation, especially the SiOH in its structure can directly react with organic matter to produce organic mineral derivatives.

The structure of montmorillonite is a 2:1 crystal structure composed of two silica tetrahedrons sandwiched with a layer of aluminum oxide octahedrons. The layered structure formed by montmorillonite cells contains some cations, such as Cu, Mg, Na, K, etc., and the interaction between these cations and montmorillonite cells is very unstable and easy to be exchanged by other cations, so it has good ion exchange property.

Washed stone is a decorative material made of natural stone, through a special treatment process, so that the fine particles on the surface of the stone are removed, exposing the natural texture and color of the stone. This treatment can highlight the texture and beauty of the stone, while increasing its durability and anti-slip properties.

Barite is a non-metallic mineral product with barium sulfate (BaS04) as the main component (chemical composition: Ba0:65.7%, SO3:34.3%). The composition has Sr, Pb and Ca homomorphic substitution), pure barite is white and glossy, due to the influence of impurities and mixtures, it is often gray, light red, light yellow, etc., and the crystallization of barite can also be transparent crystals. Barite is a sulfate mineral. The composition is BaSO4. The most widely distributed barium-containing mineral in nature.

Colored sand is divided into natural colored sand, sintered colored sand, temporary dyed color sand, permanent dyed color sand. Its characteristics are: bright color, acid and alkali resistance, ultraviolet resistance, do not fade. Natural color sand: It is crushed by natural ore, which does not fade but has more impurities. Temporary dyeing color sand: bright color, easy to decolorize.

mineral powder is a general term for stone powder and its substitutes that meet engineering requirements. It is the product of grinding ore processing, is the first step of ore processing and smelting, and is one of the most important steps. The hydrophilic coefficient of mineral powder is the ratio of the volume of expansion per unit of mineral powder in the same water (polar molecules) and the same volume of kerosene (non-polar molecules). Hydrophilic coefficient of mineral Powder in Highway engineering < The mineral powder of 1 is called alkaline mineral powder.

Medical stone is a kind of natural ore with porous, light weight and high temperature resistance. It is widely used in the fields of building materials, agriculture, horticulture, fireproof materials and industrial filtration, and plays an important role.

Geophagy has been considered as an adaptive behavior in humans and animals (1) and the clays have been considered the healing materials from ancient times. As geophagia is an occasionally habits of animals and humans (babies and pregnant women), physiologically it is assumed that earth might have some beneficial effects on body function. Bentonite is absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay. It is named after Fort Benton, Wyoming where its largest sources are found. Its other name, Montmorillonite clay, stems from the region of France called Montmorillon, where it was first found. It has been used and eaten from ancient time till now as human believes in its therapeutic benefits. When it is mixed with water a paste is formed which has been used both externally and internally. In some places such as Iran, it has been widely used as a hair cleanser from old time. There is enough literature showing its safety after chronic oral consumption (2–6). As this clay is abundant, non-expensive and natural, this article aimed to review the scientific papers reporting the effects of this clay on body.

Zeolite also has the function of regulating the acid-base balance of the body, providing minerals and trace elements for the human body, improving intestinal flora, promoting digestion and absorption, and enhancing human immunity and antioxidant capacity. 3

Barite (BaSO4) is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate. It is generally white or colorless, and is the main source of barium. Baryte is the British spelling. The radiating form is also sometimes refered to as Bologna Stone.

Barite or baryte (BaSO4) is a sulfate mineral that gets its name from the Greek word “barys” which means “heavy.” Barite’s claim to fame is its high specific gravity of 4.5, which ranks it among the heaviest nonmetallic minerals. Said another way, barite weighs 4.5 times as much as an equal volume of water. This heaviness or density accounts for its usefulness and economic importance.
