Zeolites are a class of microporous, aluminosilicate minerals that have a crystalline structure with a framework of interconnected tunnels and cages. They are naturally occurring but can also be ...

To make stable zeolites—porous inorganic materials used as industrial catalysts—researchers often convert the zeolites’ internal structure, transforming looser phases into more stable, denser forms.

A new paper hints at the untapped possibilities for making synthetic zeolites -- microporous materials that are used as molecular sieves and catalysts for everything from petroleum processing to ...

Researchers at Stockholm University and the Polytechnic University of Valencia have demonstrated the conversion in the lab and are now looking for an industrial partner to scale up the conversion. The ...

Zeolites are a group of crystal-like, porous minerals made up of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. About 50 different zeolites are found in nature. Another 150 more types are made in labs. The word ...
