Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Zeolites

Abstract
Zeolites have been widely utilized in industry and in household products, for example as adsorbents, ion-exchangers, and catalysts, and have attracted considerable attention as host materials for various nanotechnology applications. Recent developments in analytical methods have enabled detailed studies on the crystallization mechanism of zeolites. The purpose of this review is to give a survey of recent progress in hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of zeolites.
