What do we do with zeolites?
Zeolites are used in several ways in the chemical industry. These materials separate metal ions, decreasing the amount of surface area that catalysts can use. But the process of making it must be controlled so that metal atoms don't stick together. To stop this, zeolites can be made in several neutral complex ways, such as by condensing the vapour phase or adsorbing an organic solvent. There are many different kinds of zeolites, each with its structure. Pore size, shape, and how they connect are all different. The size of the pores can range from 0.3 nanometers to 1 micron. Depending on what it is made of, zeolite can be either primary or acidic. This means it can be used for many different things. Zeolites are stable solids that can handle very high temperatures. They don't burn, dissolve in water or inorganic solvents, or oxidize in air. Zeolites don't burn and aren't thought to be dangerous unless they are inhaled or eaten directly. They can also be used to improve t...
