Zeolites in Catalysis

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicate minerals with a high surface area and well-defined pore structure, making them excellent solid acid catalysts. They are used in petroleum refining (fluid catalytic cracking), petrochemical production, and environmental applications (gas purification). Their shape-selective properties enable specific molecular transformations, improving efficiency and selectivity in many industrial processes.
