Zeofit as ecological product is new to the Macedonian market, having a wide range of functioning. According to its chemical composition it is a natural raw material created through the opalization and is part of the group of zeolitizes volcanic rocks. The zeofit produces extraordinary results in the area of fruit-growing, stock-breeding, market gardening etc. Zeolites are natural or synthetic micro porous hydrated aluminosilicates with open 3D crystal structure composed of aluminum, silicon and oxygen atoms whose pores are filled with molecular water. In our tests was used synthetic zeolite type 4A derived from water glass. Besides zeolite type 4A we also used the natural material known as zeofit. Zeofit is a vulcanic rock with zeolitic structure. Zeolites are characterized by large ion changing power of ions of heavy metals found in soil also known as soil additives. The zeofit produces extraordinary results in the area of plants-growing, market gardening etc. It plays a role in increasing the plants’ resistance against high and low temperatures, increasing the yield, protecting against diseases and vermin in plants . One of the important characteristics of this raw material is the fact that it preserves moisture in its contents, which is made of use in its application since it enables the root to use part of the nutrients in the soil during drought periods, thus improving the nutrition of the plants, contributing to a better development of the root system, thereby intensifying growth and the fertility itself of the plants. The concentration of elements: Cr(III),arsenic, mercury and iron were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The results of the research will be presented in tables and graphics. Also in this paper will be provided chemical analyzes of the soil, zeofit and zeolite type 4A.
