Zeolites are a family of open-framework aluminosilicates with orderly distributed micropores. Their general formula may be expressed as following: M x/n ((AlO 2) x (AlO 2) y) (H 2 O) z, where M represents an extra-framework cation of valence n, which compensates the negative charges of the framework and allows the zeolite to be a cation …

Clinoptilolite (Cl) belongs to the group of heulandite zeolites [15].Minerals of this group are the most widespread zeolites occurring in nature. The crystal structure of clinoptilolite is characterized by quite open channels formed with ten- and eight-membered tetrahedral rings arranged in three directions: the channels parallel to the C axis have the …

Indirect carbonation, a technology to store CO2 and produce stable CaCO3 and MgCO3, involves elution of Ca and Mg from industrial waste and subsequent carbonation. Although substantial residual waste is generated after the elution of Ca and Mg, its recycling attributes have not been adequately scrutinized. The residual waste has …

Zeolites are widely employed in the industrial drying of gases by Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA). In a typical TSA process, the adsorbent is packed in a fixed bed, which is sequentially subjected to a "cold" feed (adsorption) and a hot flush (desorption). Due to the hydrothermal stress, adsorbents may suffer from reduced drying …

The basics of the structural chemistry of zeolites explained: zeolites are crystalline, microporous tectoaluminosilicates, wherein Si and Al atoms, collectively referred to as 'T atoms', are tetrahedrally coordinated by O atoms. These TO 4 units, connected by their apices (i.e., O atoms), form a three-dimensional network (left panel).

The main industrial application areas are: petroleum refining, synfuels production, and petrochemical production. Synthetic zeolites are the most important catalysts in petrochemical refineries. Adsorption: Zeolites are used to adsorb a variety of materials. This includes applications in drying, purification, and separation.
