Computer Simulations in Zeolite Catalysis Research

Zeolite Catalysis

The Special Issue “Zeolite Catalysis” published in the online journal Catalysts was recently successfully completed. A good number of peer-reviewed publications were published reflecting the broadness of the zeolite syntheses, characterizations and various application fields. This issue brought together recent research of well-known research teams from all over the world. The term “zeolite” is ...

Understanding the window effect in zeolite catalysis.

Morphology Induced Shape Selectivity in Zeolite Catalysis

Zeolite Research

A new anti-diarrheic drug for humans has been developed based on the physical and chemical properties of the purified natural clinoptilolite NZ. A series of physical, chemical, technological, pharmacological, microbiological, and clinical studies were successfully conducted to meet the requirements of the Cuban Drug Quality Agency. The most important results concerning the properties and biolog...

Understanding zeolite catalysis: inverse shape selectivity revised.

Anyone who has experience in moving house [the Angewandte team has just done this!] knows that those boxes filled with small books are the heaviest, because these small objects pack so easily. The same entropy effect explains the catalytic selectivity towards the formation of branched hydrocarbons in zeolites. The pink tubes represent the zeolite pores at high loading in which effective size di...
