Linde type A zeolites

The nomenclature of zeolites is rather arbitrary and follows no obvious rules because every producer of synthetic zeolites uses his/her own acronyms for the materials. However, as mentioned before, at least the structure types of the different zeolites have a unique code. For example, FAU represents Faujasite-type zeolites, LTA Linde Type A zeolites, MFI Mobile Five, and BEA Zeolite Beta. The structure commission of the International Zeolite Association (IZA) is the committee granting the respective three-letter codes [4], Some typical zeolites, which are of importance as catalysts in petrochemistry, will be described in the following sections.

Pinpointing the siting of cations in Linde Type A zeolites is crucial in the design and understanding of experiments aimed at fine tuning the dimensions of the entrance windows of the supercages. 

SSZ-24 may be the first instance in which a silica type sieve has been discovered after its A1po4 structural analog was known. The reverse sequence is well known, A1P04 structural analogs being found for previously known faujasite, chabazite, erionite, soda-lite, gismondine, levynite and Linde type A zeolites.
