      Encapsulated Catalysts provides valuable information for chemists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists in this promising area. The book describes many kinds of encapsulated catalysts and their applications in chemistry, including organic, inorganic, hybrid, and biological systems. Unlike other works, which discuss traditional supports, this useful resource uniquely focuses on extremely important topics, such as the encapsulation effects on reactivity and selectivity, the difficulty of their separation from reaction mixture, and/or their sensitivity to reaction conditions, and the limit of their industrial applications. In addition, the book covers the immobilization of homogenous catalysts on inorganic or organic supports and how it enables the separation of homogenous catalysts, as well as the protection or reuse of catalysts.

      Proceedings from the Ninth International Zeolite Conference, Volume I contains the proceedings of the Ninth International Zeolite Conference held in Montreal, Canada, on July 5-10, 1992. The conference provided a forum for reviewing the state of the art in zeolites and tackled topics ranging from advances and perspectives in the synthesis of molecular sieves to Raman spectroscopic studies in zeolite synthesis. The insertion of vanadium in the silicalite framework and the crystallization of aluminophosphate microporous compounds in an alcoholic system are also discussed. Comprised of 71 chapters, this volume first deals with the discovery of a subclass of tectosilicate minerals now known as zeolites, followed by a detailed account of host/guest chemistry and catalysis in zeolites. The reader is then introduced to sodalite supralattices and a high-silica, large-pore aluminosilicate zeolite dubbed NCL-1. Subsequent chapters explore zeolite synthesis in ammonia and aqueous ammonia solvents; preparation of zeolite film using cellulose molding; molecular design of layered zirconium phosphonate catalysts; and the effect of hydrogen bonds on the aluminosilicate framework of ammonium-natrolite. This book will appeal not only to experts but also to students and researchers entering the field of zeolites.

      Advances in Nanoporous Materials is a collection of comprehensive reviews of lasting value to the field. The contributions cover all aspects of nanoporous materials, including their preparation and structure, post-synthetic modification, characterization and use in catalysis, adsorption/separatio... and all other fields of potential application, e.g., membranes, host/guest chemistry, environmental protection, electrochemistry, sensors, and optical devices. "Nanoporous materials" comprise all kinds of porous solids that possess pores in the range from about 0.2 nm up to 50 nm, irrespective of their chemical composition, their origin (natural or synthetic), and their amorphous or crystalline nature. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials (e.g., crystalline microporous aluminophosphates and their derivatives), mesoporous oxides such as silica, metal organic frameworks, pillared clays, porous carbons, and related materials.

      Zeolite scientists, whether they are working in synthesis, catalysis, characterization or application development, use the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types as a reference. It describes the main features of all of the confirmed zeolite framework structures, and gives references to the relevant primary structural literature. Since the last edition 34 more framwork types have been approved and are described in this new edition. A further new feature will be that characteristic building units will be listed for each of the framework types.Zeolites and their analogs are used as desiccants, as water softeners, as shape-selective acid catalysts, as molecular sieves, as concentrators of radioactive isotopes, as blood clotting agents, and even as additives to animal feeds. Recently, their suitability as hosts for nanometer spacing of atomic clusters has also been demonstrated. These diverse applications are a reflection of the fascinating structures of these microporous materials. Each time a new zeolite framework structure is reported, it is examined by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association (IZA-SC), and if it is found to be unique and to conform to the IZA-SC's definition of a zeolite, it is assigned a 3-letter framework type code. This code is part of the official IUPAC nomenclature for microporous materials. The Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types is essentially a compilation of data for each of these confirmed framework types. These data include a stereo drawing showing the framework connectivity, features that characterize the idealized framework structure, a list of materials with this framework type, information on the type material that was used to establish the framework type, and stereo drawings of the pore openings of the type material.
