In the last three decades a remarkable progress has been obtained in the synthesis of new zeolite and, more generally, zeotype materials representing a large family of microporous solids characterized by sets of three- bi- or mono-dimensional (in some cases interconnected) channels. Such materials have gained an increasing role in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, where the advantage associated with a catalyst characterized by three-dimensional surfaces of enormous magnitude (up to 103 m2 g-1) is of great importance. In this field, the most relevant applications are in petrolchemistry, pollution control and in the synthesis of fine chemicals. The important role played by SR facilities in both diffraction and absorption experiments for the characterization of zeolite and zeotype materials will be illustrated by selecting some relevant examples.

Abstract

In the last three decades a remarkable progress has been obtained in the synthesis of new zeolite and, more generally, zeotype materials representing a large family of microporous solids characterized by sets of three- bi- or mono-dimensional (in some cases interconnected) channels. Such materials have gained an increasing role in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, where the advantage associated with a catalyst characterized by three-dimensional surfaces of enormous magnitude (up to 103 m2 g-1) is of great importance. In this field, the most relevant applications are in petrolchemistry, pollution control and in the synthesis of fine chemicals. The important role played by SR facilities in both diffraction and absorption experiments for the characterization of zeolite and zeotype materials will be illustrated by selecting some relevant examples.
