Zeolites in Industrial Separation and Catalysis [Repost]

Zeolites are capable of functioning in a number of capacities within different industrial applications, for example, their use in commercial processes makes it possible to produce the basic materials used in a variety of consumer products, such as gasoline, detergent, and polyester, on a large scale.
This first book to offer a practical overview examines the role of zeolites in three capacities. The first part of the book discusses the history and chemistry of zeolites, while the second section focuses on separation processes. The third and final section treats zeolites in the field of catalysis.
The three sections are unified by an examination of how the unique properties of zeolites allow them to function in different capacities as an adsorbent, a membrane and as a catalyst, while also discussing their impact within the industry and in daily life.
Edited by a globally recognized and acclaimed leader in the field with contributions from major industry experts, this handbook and ready reference introduces such novel separators as zeolite membranes and mixed matrix membranes.
