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 ...
Faujasite (FAU-type zeolite) is a mineral group in the zeolite family of silicate minerals.The group consists of faujasite-Na, faujasite-Mg and faujasite-Ca. They all share the same basic formula (Na 2,Ca,Mg) 3.5 [Al 7 Si 17 O 48]·32(H 2 O) by varying the amounts of sodium, magnesium and calcium. [1]
Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite composed of a microporous arrangement of silica and alumina tetrahedra. It has the complex formula (Na,K,Ca) 2–3 Al 3 (Al,Si) 2 Si 13 O 36 •12H 2 O. It forms as white, green to reddish tabular monoclinic tectosilicate crystals with a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4 and a specific gravity of 2.1 to 2.2.
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.

In 2001, an estimated 1200 kilotons of zeolite A were produced for this purpose, which entails water softening. [2] 4A molecular sieves are widely used to dry laboratory solvents. [7] They can absorb water and other species with a critical diameter less than 4 Å such as NH 3, H 2 S, SO 2, CO 2, C 2 H 5 OH, C 2 H 6, and C 2 H 4. Bottle of 4A ...
Other factors of this solution can affect the formation of the zeolite membrane including: pH, Ionic Strength, temperature, and the addition of structure-determining reagents . Upon heating the solution, the crystals of the membrane begin to grow on the supports. In 2012, a “seeding method” was developed to produce zeolite membranes.
2 g 1N NaOH, 2,78 g 0.72 M N,N,N-1-trimethyladamantammonium hydroxide (TMAdOH) and 3.22 g deionized water are mixed. 0,1 g Al 2 O 3 is added to the solution and mixed with 0.6 g fumed silica. The resulting viscous gel is aged for two hours and heated for 4 days at 160 °C in a Teflon lined steel autoclave .
Mordenite is a zeolite mineral with the chemical formula, (Ca, Na 2, K 2)Al 2 Si 10 O 24 ·7H 2 O. and it is one of the six most abundant zeolites and is used commercially. [3] It was first described in 1864 by Henry How. He named it after the small community of Morden, Nova Scotia, Canada, along the Bay of Fundy, where it was first found.
