Abstract
Due to their interesting physico-chemical properties (i.e. cation-exchange capacity, adsorption, catalysis and dehydration), natural zeolites are useful in very different fields: agriculture, animal husbandry, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, environmental protection (water, air and soil depollution). Ion-exchange capacity of zeolites consists in their ability to retain divalent cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Fe2+, Zn2+ from a contact solution, yielding to the solution an equivalent amount of an own cation (Na+). In this paper we have exploited this property of a zeolite (namely clinoptilolite) in an attempt to reduce Cd bioaccumulation in tissues of Prussian carp specimens under induced intoxication with cadmium acetate and Cd antagonism as against some essential micro- and macroelements - Fe2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ at the same species.
