Abstract

Zeolites are one of the few minerals that have been studied for remediation in the
environment. Due to their ability to change ions, as well as the fact that they bring
certain improvements such as increasing cations to exchange soil capacity and soil
moisture, improving hydraulic conductivity, increasing yields in acidic soils and
reducing the ingress of heavy metals into plants (Allen and Ming 1995).
Soil remediation can be done by planting zeophytes (volcanic tuff) in the most
endangered parts of the soil contaminated soils. Based on the data on some
physico-chemical characteristics of volcanic tuff, the analysis in this paper can
conclude the high effectiveness that would be obtained when applying for passive
decontamination and revitalization of heavy metal contaminated soils from the
areas around the Lead Smelter and zinc from Veles.
