Shungite – Nature’s Ultimate Shield

There is a basis for the assumption that
shungite carbon came to Earth from space during the Earth's formation. V. F.
Masterov and N. A. Charikov, along with co-authors, point out the presence of
fullerene materials in shungites—multilayer and single-layer nanotubes,
nanospheres, and nanocones (primarily hollow) in quantities of several mass
percent. The synthesis of such structures under artificial conditions occurs at
temperatures above 4000 °C, while shungite formations are low-temperature. V.
V. Kovalevski discovered an analog of shungite carbon in carbon meteorites.
Shungite carbon exists in space.

• The surface of crushed, ground, and finely
ground shungite-based materials from the Zhazogin deposit has bipolar
properties, allowing shungite fillers to be mixed without exception with all
binders, both organic and inorganic.

• Physical properties: density – 2.25–2.40
g/cm³; porosity – 0.5–5%; compressive strength – 100–150 MPa; modulus of
elasticity (E) – 0.31·10⁵ MPa; electrical conductivity – (1–3)·10³ S/m; thermal
conductivity – 3.8 W/m·K. The average thermal expansion coefficient in the
temperature range of 20–600 °C is 12·10⁻⁶ 1/°C.

• The rock has sorptive,
catalytic, bactericidal properties, biological activity, and the ability to
absorb and neutralize high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.

• Shungite
carbon exhibits unusual diamagnetic properties among natural carbons, which
have been discovered in superconducting fullerenes and high-temperature
superconducting

• In terms of physical-mechanical properties (strength, wear, bulk density), shungite is similar to traditionally used filtering material – quartz sand.
• Shungite has the ability to adsorb a wide range of organic substances (surfactants, alcohols, resins, pesticides, petroleum derivatives, etc.).
• Shungite exhibits specific activity in removing radical particles from water (chlorinated organics, dioxins), surpassing activated carbon by 30 times.
• Shungite has the ability to disinfect and purify water from bacteria, spores, simple microorganisms, and blue-green algae.
• Shungite can impart biological activity and healing properties to water.
• Shungite possesses catalytic properties that accelerate the oxidation of adsorbed organic substances. Can shungite be used in various areas of water purification?
• Preparing drinking water with filters (household and industrial of various capacities for food companies and production); • Purifying and disinfecting water in wells;
• Preparing water for swimming pools;
• Preparing water for thermal power plants;
• Preparing water for cosmetic production;
• Cleaning rainwater and industrial wastewater;
• Purifying water in closed cycles;
• Producing porous mineral-polymer composites.

Shungite – a silicate rock that contains carbon, with the only
deposit located in Karelia. It has numerous beneficial properties, particularly
its ability to purify water from organic and inorganic pollutants. Water passed
through shungite has bactericidal and healing properties, which is why shungite
is used for therapeutic baths in many sanatoriums ("Chayka,"
"Black River" in the Leningrad region, "Kriskovo" in the
Belgorod region, and others). The use of shungite for water preparation has
been approved by the Ministry of Health of Russia (sanitary-epidemiological
certificate No. 10.KC.03.5711 00427.07 dated 26.07.2002). Conclusion: Shungite
can be recommended as an effective and inexpensive material for filling filters
for swimming pool purification. Due to its high hardness and low wear, the
lifespan of shungite filters are much longer than active carbon.

That Lake Onega, which 'rests' on shungite, contains the purest
water in the world?

That people who bathe in the spring water of 'St. Ivan'
effectively heal various skin diseases?

That there a first spa in Karelia with shungite spring water
established by a decree from Peter I from 18th Century?

That the healing baths at the "Shungite – spring water"
spa contribute to improving the condition of the:

• musculoskeletal system;

• digestive system;

• nervous system;

• urinary and reproductive systems;

• ears, throat, and nose;

• respiratory system;

• blood?

This claim is backed by scientific research:

• The use of natural sorption material shungite for
decontaminating soil from heptyl allows for a significant increase in safety
when using components of liquid rocket fuel. After just one day, the
concentration of the contaminant in the soil decreases by 1000 times.

• Among the transformation products of heptyl on natural sorption
material shungite, there are no highly toxic compounds such as
nitrosodimethylamine and tetramethylhydrazine.

• What is heptyl? Heptyl is a general term for compounds
containing seven carbon atoms, most commonly referring to heptane, an aliphatic
hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C7H16. Heptane is used as a solvent and
in fuel industries. In some contexts, the term "heptyl" may also be
used to describe specific alkyl groups containing seven carbon atoms, which is
important in chemical reactions and syntheses.

That shungite powder is an excellent additive in the rubber
industry which improves the properties of tires, making them lighter in weight
as well.

It acts
as a structural plasticizer that influences the processes of segmental
mobility of elastomers.

It is a
technologically active additive that enhances manufacturing properties.

• Results of technological influence:

• The processes of incorporation, dispersion, and distribution of fillers
are accelerated.

• Dusting of the material is reduced.

• Adhesion to metal wire and other materials is increased.

• Impact on segmental mobility:

• Improvement of the fatigue properties of the material.

• Increase in elasticity.

• Reduction of hysteresis (energy losses).

• Additional benefits:

• Improvement of technological and functional properties of products.

• Reduction of manufacturing costs for rubber materials.

• Application of shungite filler:

• In tire production.

• In the manufacturing of rubber and rubber-technical products.

burns, anti-itch effect, antihistamine effect).
