Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined
channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as …

Biogas is an increasingly attractive renewable resource, envisioned to secure future energy
demands and help curb global climate change. To capitalize on this resource, membrane …

Zeolites are well-known as valuable crystalline solids with framework structures containing
discrete micropores of molecular dimensions that accommodate exchangeable …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

The different local environment of atoms exposed at solid surfaces compared to atoms in the
bulk is the driving force for many physical and chemical processes. There are two …

Zeolites—microporous crystalline aluminosilicates—are widely used in petrochemistry and
fine-chemical synthesis,, because strong acid sites within their uniform micropores enable …

The increasing environmental concern and promotion of “green processes” are forcing the
substitution of traditional acid and base homogeneous catalysts by solid ones. Among these …

Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates containing pores and cavities of molecular
dimensions. Many occur as natural minerals, but it is the synthetic varieties which are among …

An account is presented of the mechanistic aspects of hydrothermal zeolite synthesis. The
introduction provides a historical and experimental perspective and is followed by a …

Porous solids containing internal pores with sizes ranging from angstroms to nanometers
are highly useful and valuable in the catalysis, separation, and storage of molecules …
