NEW ADVANCES IN MOLECULAR SIEVE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This review gives a brief account of recent progress in molecular sieve synthesis, characterization and catalysis. The term molecular sieve, instead of zeolite, is used here with the intention to reflect the expansion of the material base from metal aluminosilicate zeolites to microporous crystals of new compositions. Completeness is not the objective of this review. The intention is, rather, to point to principal areas of progress, using representative examples from the literature.
