Expanded Clays and Other Microporous Solids

From the symposium on Advances in Zeolites and Pillared Clays Synthesis, sponsored by the Petroleum Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society experts from around the world review: Youll find everything youve ever wanted to know about zeolites and pillared clays: For the novice - how to information on zeolite synthesis. For the expert - a survey of advances in novel zeolites. The mechanism of zeolite crystallisation 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 clays preparation; new pillaring agents and pillared products; delaminated clays.
