(Phys.org)—Zeolite is a Greek word that literally means a boiling stone. They are porous materials used as adsorbents, catalysts, and as ion-exchangers, and used for water filtration, detergents, and air separation, among ...
(Phys.org)—Zeolites, silica-based compounds known for their high surface area, have many commercial applications as absorbents and in catalysis. Since the function of the zeolite is related to its architecture, new zeolites ...
Despite decades of industrial use, the exact chemical transformations occurring within zeolites, a common material used in the conversion of oil to gasoline, remain poorly understood. Now scientists have found a way to locate—with ...
