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]
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.

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 .
Chabazite (UK: / ˈ k æ b ə z aɪ t /) [3] is a tectosilicate mineral of the zeolite group, [4] closely related to gmelinite, with the chemical formula (Ca,K 2,Na 2,Mg)Al 2 Si 4 O 12 •6H 2 O. Recognized varieties include Chabazite-Ca, Chabazite-K, Chabazite-Na, and Chabazite-Sr, depending on the prominence of the indicated cation.
Levyne or levynite is a zeolite mineral, i.e. a hydrated silicate mineral. There are two forms of levyne: Levyne-Na, the sodium dominated form (Na 2,Ca,K 2)Al 2 Si 4 O 12 ·6(H 2 O), and; Levyne-Ca the calcium dominated form (Ca,Na 2,K 2)Al 2 Si 4 O 12 ·6(H 2 O) Levyne crystallizes in the Trigonal - Hexagonal Scalenohedral class. It typically ...
Hypothetical zeolites are combinatorial models of potential structures of the minerals known as zeolites. They are four-regular periodic graphs, with vertices representing the tetrahedral atom (usually Si or Al) and the edges representing the bridging oxygen atoms. Alternatively, by ignoring the tetrahedral atoms, zeolites can be represented by ...
