Zeolites are smart materials which provide very attractive insights into the field of catalysis. This chapter covers the fundamentals of zeohte materials science and their application as catalysts. This chapter includes the background and history of evolution of zeolites in the field of catalysis. Zeolites are sohd acids, and the chemical nature, density, strength and location of the acid sites in zeolites are discussed. Shape-selective catalysis, which is a unique feature of zeofites, is briefly addressed. The chapter also summarizes its application in various organic transformations in the presence of zeolites as catalyst. The chapter deals small segments of importance of zeolites in the field of medical application, disease control and wastewater treatment. 

ACFs have been successfully applied in many fields, such as the treatment of organic and inorganic waste gases, the recovery of organic solvent, air cleaning and deodorization, treatment of wastewater and drinking water, separation and recovery of precious metals, as medical adsorbents and protective articles, and in electrodes [57], Some of the most common applications of ACF are listed below Table 8.2. 

Development of small but sophisticated systems for electrochemical generation of hypochlorite from very dilute solutions of NaCl is of present interest. In recent years, electrochemical synthesis of extra-pure sodium hypochlorite solutions for medical use has received growing attention [84,85]. The electrolytic solution is an isotonic physiological salt solution containing 0.89% NaCl. Another application is the disinfection of drinking water that contains only 10-100 mg NaCl per liter [86,87]. Reviews of onsite generation of hypochlorite for water treatment and of the sterilization of water and wastewater include those of Michalek and Leitz [56] and, more recently, Scott [88].
