Zeolites are typically aluminosilicates whose framework structures have pores of molecular dimensions. They are widely used as ion exchangers and sorbents and in hydrocarbons conversion catalysis and separations. Recent zeolite research has focused on widening the scope of synthetic procedures, on further exploiting zeolites in commercial processes, and on applying modern characterization techniques to unraveling the complexities of zeolite structural properties.
沸石通常是具有分子尺寸孔道的硅铝酸盐，它们被广泛用作离子交换剂和吸附剂，也用于烃类转化催化和分离。最近的沸石研究集中在拓宽合成方法的范围、在商业过程中进一步开发沸石以及应用现代表征技术来揭示沸石结构特性的复杂性。
