Zeolites and Ordered Mesoporous Materials: Progress and Prospects

Zeolites are the most frequently used industrial catalysts. Their applications range from oil refining, petrochemistry and the synthesis of special chemicals to environmental catalysis. Rapid Progress in the First Federation of European Zeolite Associations (FEZA). School on Zeolites. Zeolites and Ordered Mesoporous Materials: Progress and Prospects reflects the program on the first School on Zeolites, held in Prague on August 20-21, 2005. Readers gain insight into the entire spectrum of zeolites, zeotypes and ordered mesoporous materials including the use of zeolites and mesoporous materials as catalysts in organic conversions. These range of bulk applications in oil-refining and petrochemistry. Contributions from the world of molecular sieves, zeolite structures, ion-exchange properties of zeolites, and the chapter on natural zeolites.

* Contains contributions from world experts in the field
* Includes an account of the frontier topic of high-throughput techniques
* Reviews the application of quantum-chemical methods to zeolite science to show the necessity of combining experimental and theoretical approaches
