Article Synopsis
- Neogene volcanism in southeastern Iberian Peninsula led to the formation of volcanic structures and accumulated pyroclastic materials, resulting in the unique zeolite deposit around San José-Los Escullos.
- The research aimed to characterize this natural zeolite (SZ) for its mineral, chemical, and technical properties, assessing its potential use as a natural pozzolan, particularly in cement mixtures.
- Analysis methods included XRD, SEM, XRF, and TGA, confirming the presence of reactive minerals and demonstrating that the zeolite samples exhibited good quality pozzolanic reactivity over time.
