Zeolites are synthetic or naturally hydrated aluminosilicate minerals that are used as commercial catalysts and adsorbents and contain alkali and alkaline metals. Natural zeolites are available in abundance; however, they offer a limited range of atomic structures and properties. Contrarily, synthetic zeolites offer larger cavities, and thus, an ample range of properties as compared to natural zeolites. Hence, there are a number of zeolites manufactured across the globe, annually, to cater to a variety of applications.

Synthetic zeolite is developed through the slow crystallization of silica-alumina gel in presence of alkalis and organic templates. Sol-gel processing is an important step involved in the manufacture of synthetic zeolite. Zeolite is used in a wide range of industrial and domestic applications including nuclear, petrochemical, and biogas production industries. The majority of synthetic zeolites manufactured are used in the detergents industry. Synthetic zeolites are environmental-friendly and are increasingly used as an alternative over phosphates as a raw material in detergent manufacturing. The growing population is expected to boost the demand for detergents, which, in turn, is projected to drive the demand for synthetic zeolites. Synthetic zeolites also find application in the petrochemical industry as catalysts. They are popularly used in fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking of petroleum. Thus, the growing petrochemical sector is expected to boost the adoption of synthetic zeolites. Synthetic zeolite is also used as an additive in the production of asphalt concrete. Another major application of synthetic zeolite is as an adsorbent. Zeolite molecular sieves are employed as adsorbents by various end-use industries.
