Molecular Sieve Zeolite Technology: The First Twenty-Five Years

  • Chapter
Book cover Zeolites: Science and Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 80))

Abstract

In twenty-five years molecular sieve zeolites have substantially impacted adsorption and catalytic process technology throughout the chemical process industries; provided timely solutions to energy and environmental problems; and grown to over a hundred million dollar industry worldwide. The evolution in zeolite materials with improved or novel properties has strongly influenced the expansion of their applications, and provided new flexibility in the design of products and processes.

This article is used as reference material for J. A. Rabo’s lecture on “Historical Aspects of Zeolites”.
