Unified formula and volume characteristics in comparative crystal chemistry of natural zeolites

Abstract

Formulas of natural zeolites are generally cumbersome and not easily comparable because of differences in their written form. A summary of the formulas normalized at n=1 is given for aluminosilicate zeolites with the [(Si,Al) n O2n ] frameworks. Novel volume parameters are proposed for the framework instead of the framework density (FD) and a zeolite as a whole, which are calculated as the effective volumes of a mean (Si, Al, O) atom and a mean atom of the compound. We show the efficiency of the comparative crystal chemical analysis of zeolites in a common scale with the use of unified characteristics.
