Understanding Zeolite Framework: Ingenious e-Brain Solution Zeolite-a versatile host | Page 3

Zeolite – a versatile host ⦿ Catalysis ⦿ Ion exchange ⦿ Adsorption Based on application areas: ⦿ Water Treatment ⦿ Radioactive area decontamination ⦿ Heavy metal removal ⦿ Absorbents for oil ⦿ Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) ⦿ Gas separation ⦿ Odor control ⦿ Horticulture ⦿ Agriculture ⦿ Aquaculture etc. There are various approaches to synthesize organic structure directing agents (OSDA). OSDA are basically guides to synthesize zeolite of framework and pore size as per the industry/application requirement 9 . Chiral zeolitic materials are of great interest in chemistry because they can undergo enantioselective adsorption & catalysis and can be used in asymmetric synthesis and separation of enantiomers. In order to synthesize chiral zeolite, chiral template or OSDA must be synthesized 10 . zeolite beta A and chiral zeolite beta A have not been synthesized as of 2018 11 ; Frits Daeyaert et.al. in January 2019 reported a machine learning approach to design OSDA for zeolite beta A which will accelerate the process of chiral template synthesis. In conclusion, still there is core research going on for synthesizing zeolite framework. The templates for zeolites or OSDA are still being optimized for zeolite synthesis; new approaches are being experimented in order to design OSDA. 9 http://science.sciencemag.org/content/330/6008/1219 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/cm00022a005 11 https://www.pnas.org/content/116/9/3413 10 2 | © Ingenious e-Brain Solution 2019.
