Mathematical Model of Interaction of Carbonaceous Fullerene Containing Mineral Shungite and Aluminosilicate Mineral Zeolite With Water

Abstract

We studied the mathematical model of interaction with water of two natural minerals – amorphous, uncrystallized, fullerene analogous carbon containing natural mineral shungite from Zazhoginskoe deposit in Karelia (Russian Federation) and microporous crystalline aluminosilicate mineral zeolite (Most, Bulgaria). In this report are submitted data about the interaction of these minerals with water, obtained by non-equilibrium (NES) and differential-equilibrium energy spectrum (DNES) of water. The average energy (?E_{H... O}) of hydrogen ?…O-bonds among individual molecules H₂O after treatment of shungite and zeolite with water measured by NES- and DENS-methods was at -0.1137 eV for shungite and -0.1174 eV for zeolite. The calculation of ?E_{H... O} for shungite with using DNES method compiles 0.0025±0.0011 eV and for zeolite -1.2±0.0011 eV. This result suggests the restructuring of ?E_{H... O} values among H₂O molecules with a statistically reliable increase of local maximums in DNES-spectra. Also are demonstrated the prospects of using shungite, possessing high absorption, catalytic and bactericidal activity, as an adsorbent in water-treatment, water purification, and other industries.
