Zeolites are known to have tunable pores – ranging between 3-12 Angstroms – which allows them to separate carbon dioxide. Because a molecule is about 5.4 Angstroms in length, zeolites with a pore size of 4-5 Angstroms can be well-suited for carbon dioxide capture. However, other factors also need to be considered when determining how ...
Zeolite exhibited in the Estonian Museum of Natural History. Zeolite is a group of several microporous, crystalline aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. [1] They mainly consist of silicon, aluminium, oxygen, and have the general formula M n+ 1/n (AlO 2) − (SiO 2) x ･y H 2 O where M n+ 1/n is either ...
Under the term zeolites, molecular sieves are used for a wide range of catalytic applications. They catalyze isomerisation , alkylation , and epoxidation , and are used in large scale industrial processes, including hydrocracking and fluid catalytic cracking .

Pentasil-zeolites are defined by their structure type, and more specifically by their X-ray diffraction patterns. ZSM -5 is the trade name of a pentasil-zeolite. As early as 1967, Argauer and Landolt worked out parameters for the synthesis of pentasilzeolites, particularly those relating to the following molar ratios: OH − /SiO 2 = 0.07–10, SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 = 5–100, H 2 O/SiO 2 = 1–240.

The aluminosilicate framework of LTA-type zeolite (left) and FAU-type zeolite (right). Vertices = Al or Si, oxygen atoms are not shown. Feldspar is a common tectosilicate aluminosilicate mineral made of potassium, sodium, and calcium cations surrounded by a negatively charged network of silicon, aluminium and oxygen atoms.
A zeolite membrane is a synthetic membrane made of crystalline aluminosilicate materials, typically aluminum, silicon, and oxygen with positive counterions such as Na + and Ca 2+ within the structure. Zeolite membranes serve as a low energy separation method.
Pollucite is a zeolite mineral with the formula (Cs,Na) 2 Al 2 Si 4 O 12 ·2H 2 O with iron, calcium, rubidium and potassium as common substituting elements. It is important as a significant ore of caesium and sometimes rubidium. It forms a solid solution series with analcime.
