Effect of Physico-Chemical Modification of Clinoptilolite Composites on Their Antimicrobial Activity

Microparticles based on natural Transcarpathian clinoptilolite (CL), its H- and Na-forms are synthesized by physicochemical modifications, in particular, heat treatment and doping with metal activators (Ag and Cu). Doping of CL samples with metal ions was carried out in two different ways: the first was to use the solid-phase extraction method under dynamic conditions followed by mechanochemical treatment, and the second was to mechanochemically treat the CL samples with Ag and Cu compounds.
