The synthesis of molecular sieves from non-aqueous solvents

Abstract

Molecular sieves are important in many industrial processes and their synthesis has been the focus of much research. In addition to the traditional synthetic methods based on aqueous media there is a growing body of work describing preparations using non-aqueous solvents. This review will summarise some of the results of this work in the areas of zeolite, aluminophosphate and gallophosphate synthesis.
