Publisher's Synopsis
This is an investigation of zeolites and pillared clays, which provides information on zeolite synthesis and a survey of advances in novel zeolites. Other topics discussed include: the mechanism of zeolite crystallization and crystal growth; spectroscopic characterization of reactants and reaction intermediates; chemistry of silicate solution and reaction effects on crystallization products; the role of organic additives in zeolite formation; novel synthesis methods and procedures for zeolites and pillared clay preparation; new pillaring agents and pillared products; and delaminated clays.
