Calcium-containing rigid materials properties

Molecular sieve zeolites constitute a class of stationary phase that combines exclusion with specific adsorption properties. These materials, which are crystalline aluminum silicates (commonly sodium or calcium aluminum silicates), have rigid, highly uniform three-dimensional porous structures containing up to 0.5ml/g of free pore volume, resulting when water of crystallization is removed by heating. Although munerous natural zeolites are known, most practical work is done with...
