The oxide formula of clinoptilolite is : (Na 2K 2)∙O∙Al 2O 3∙10SiO 2∙8H 2O, and its crystal chemical formula is Ca 4,5∙Al 9Si 24O 72.

In the composition of the zeolite-clinoptilolite of the Aydag deposit, the Si / Al ratio is: 4.25 - 5.25

According to the conclusion of laboratory studies of the gamma spectroscopy department of the geological environment of the Institute of Geology of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan (06/01/2011), measurements using the SARI-2 gamma spectrometer showed that the natural zeolite-clinoptilolite of the Aydag deposit corresponds to the Technical Conditions TŞAZ1781832-01- in terms of radioactivity 2001 and State standards (RSN-31-93, QOST 3010894, GOST 12.1.007-76) and can be used for the production of food additives.

According to the conclusion of the Russian Research Center for Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the natural zeolite-clinoptilolite of the Aydag deposit, in terms of the concentration of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, complies with the permissible standards (PROTOCOL No. 1BD / 02, 08.07.2002).

Not every clinoptilolite-zeolite is suitable for medical purposes. Its suitability must be indicated in the appropriate passports.

Zeolite-clinoptilolite is a highly effective adsorbent. Studies have shown that natural zeolite adsorbs various substances hazardous to health. The zeolite lattice structure allows it to function as an ion-exchange filter and selective adsorbent. The adsorption and exchange of ions depends on their charge and magnitude. The larger the ion size corresponds to the pore size at the entrance to the clinoptilolite lattice, the easier they will be captured and delayed by the lattice. The inlet pore diameter is approximately 4 angstroms, which corresponds to the diameter of ammonium ions.

Zeolite-clinoptilolite adsorbs: ammonia, heavy metals, radionuclides,

organochlorine and organofluorine compounds, arsenic, as well as most of the toxins released during the life of viruses, bacteria and fungi.

The Aydag natural zeolite deposit is located in the western part of Azerbaijan near the town of Tovuz in the Tovuz region. The extraction and processing of natural zeolite-clinoptilolite is carried out by the Scientific and Production Company «AZERZEOLIT»e, which was created on the basis of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan in 1993 as a structural unit of the International Scientific and Technical Complex "Intergeo-Tetis" with the participation of the State Committee for Geology and Mineral Resources of Azerbaijan .

President of the International Scientific and Technical Complex Intergeo-Tetis and General Director of the Scientific and Production Association "«AZERZEOLIT»" from the moment of their creation to the present, is Elchin Khalilov - professor, doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences, academician of the International Academy of Sciences H&E, academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences , President of the Azerbaijan Section of the International Academy of Sciences H&E ( www.ias-as.org).

The coordination of research, clinical and laboratory tests of the «AZEOMED» mineral complex was carried out by the Azerbaijan Section of the International Academy of Sciences (IAS) "Health and Ecology" under the leadership of PhD Tamila Khalilova - Co-Chairman of the International Association "Zeolite - Health and Ecology" (Germany, Munich) , Corresponding Member of Azerbaijan Section of MAN H&E. The general management and financing of research and production of «AZEOMED» preparations was carried out by the Intergeo-Tetis International Scientific and Technical Complex and Yeni Tex Company.

More than 10 international and national patents of Azerbaijan / 124-134 / have been received for various prescription variants of the mineral composition «AZEOMED». Depending on the task, various prescription compositions may be used, including, in addition to the natural zeolite-clinoptilolite (basic composition), the natural mineral dolomite, medicinal plants, such as licorice root, saffron, safflower and others, as well as individual vitamins and their complexes.
