More than 200 years ago, a Swiss mineralogist discovered zeolites. These unusual minerals emitted steam when heated, garnering a name based on the Greek words for "boiling stones." Since then, ...

A PolyU research team from the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology has successfully mapped the precise locations of individual and paired aluminium atoms in the zeolite framework.

Zeolites are now used in a wide range of applications, including as molecular sieves, catalysts and gas exchange. As the transport properties through the zeolite are heavily dependent on pore size and ...

Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

Zeolites are a group of crystal-like, porous minerals made up of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. About 50 different zeolites are found in nature. Another 150 more types are made in labs. The word ...
