Overview: Zeolite as a Valuable Crystalline Inorganic Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are continuous interests worldwide in zeolites and we can see it with increasing number of scientific publications of the zeolite. Zeolite is an inorganic material that has very special properties over it. They are characterized by framework structures with uniform pore and channel systems. The term zeolite can be defined as hydrated aluminosilicates belonging to the family of the tecto – silicates, whereas the SiO4 tetrahedral are from three – dimensional super cages. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to study about commercial synthetic zeolite that purchased from Fluka. The results cover by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
