Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chemistry of microporous materials is among the most rapidly developing fields of chemical research. It is extended from the conventional zeolites which are mineral aluminosilicates with microporous host lattice structures. Both zeolites and microporous crystalline materials are molecular sieves which possess open frameworks in which guest species like water and amines or quaternary ammoniums (known as templates) can be accommodated. Upon the removal of guest species, they demonstrate adsorptive and catalytic properties owing to their surface activity as well as the selective character of the structural frameworks.There is a huge population of zeolite scientists in China who conduct intensive and interesting studies on these materials. The present review volume intends to draw an outline of the major research activities and achievement in the area of zeolite science in China.
