ABSTRACT
Although most of the applications of the zeolites are closely connected with their structural and chemical properties (i.e., type of zeolite, modification by ion exchange and/or isomorphous substitution, etc.), size and morphology of zeolite crystals can play a significant role in the mode and efficiency of their application (1,2). Here are shown some characteristic examples of the influence of size and shape of zeolite crystals in their applications as ion exchangers, catalysts, adsorbents, coatings, and so forth. In order to control particle properties such as size and shape, it is necessary to understand crystal growth, which is the focus of this chapter.
