Scientists at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain and Stockholm University in Sweden have found that a new zeolite they have synthesised has the most complex structure reported to date.

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new aluminosilicate zeolite, ZMQ-1, which features a unique intersecting meso-microporous channel system that is expected to enhance catalytic processes in the ...

The silica-rich material boasts 24 crystallographically distinct silicon atoms. This translates into 72 degrees of freedom (24 silicon atoms x 3 atomic coordinates). The structure elucidation—carried ...

An international team of researchers have found a better way to separate two rare and important gases—xenon and krypton—that ...

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 ...
