Subjects: Mines and mineral resources, Inorganic Chemistry, Crystallography, Geography, Mineralogy

Description: The Reconstruction of Natural Zeolites summarizes the known properties of natural zeolites and, importantly, shows how they can be synthesized by simulating the conditions of natural formation. Systematically, a direct correlation between the glassy precursor composition and that of the zeolite product is established. The zeolite crystal morphology obtained at given synthesis conditions allows direct conclusions on the conditions of formation in nature.
