Zeolites in Adsorption Processes: State of the Art and Future Prospects

Zeolites have been widely used as catalysts, ion exchangers, and adsorbents since their industrial breakthrough in the 1950s and continue to be state-of the-art adsorbents in many separation processes. The replacement of some of the current separation methods by optimized adsorption processes using zeolites could mean an improvement in terms of sustainability and energy savings.

• 1 Additionally, their properties make them materials of choice for developing and emerging separation applications.
• 2 The aim of this review is to put into context the relevance of zeolites and their use and prospects in adsorption technology.
• 3 It has been divided into three different sections, i.e., zeolites, adsorption on nanoporous materials, and chemical separations by zeolites.

These innovations can translate to real-world improvements in technology, infrastructure, and everyday tools.
