This book details zeolites, their structures and the parameters that influence their synthesis, providing a new and actual perspective of this field. Following this, the authors show different processes used to synthesize zeolites using residues, natural materials, and other eco-friendly materials such as raw powder glass, clays, aluminum cans, diatomites, rice ashes or coal ashes. Finally, this book gives the reader a wide range of different synthesis methods that they can be applied to several industrial processes.
Introduction.- Zeolites: what are they?.- Zeolite synthesis: general aspects.- Zeolite eco-friendly synthesis.- Recipes of some ecofriendly syntheses.- Conclusions: future approaches.
Rafael Chaves Lima has a bachelor in Chemistry from Universidade Estadual do Cear? and, currently, he is finishing his masters degree in Chemistry from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte under the direction of Prof. Dr. Sibele Pergher and Dr. Lindiane Bieseki. His research is focused on inorganic physicalchemistry, specifically on zeolite synthesis and the use of alternative sources to obtain microporous materials.
Lindiane Bieseki obtained her Doctoral degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte in 2016 under the direction of Prof. Dr. Sibele Pergher and Prof. Dr. Fernando Rey (from the Institute of Chemical Technology ITQ/CSIC in Spain). She has experience in Chemistry and in synthesis and preparation of catalysts and environmental chemistry. She acts mainly on the following topics: acid treatment and pillarization of clays, synthesis of zeolites with emphasis on the use of natural raw materials and silicoaluminous residues, and synthesis of mesoporous materials, such as SBA-15.
