Question

Zeolites are used for:

• A. selective catalysis
• B. adsorption
• C. absorption
• D. distillation

Answer 1

The correct option is A selective catalysis

Option $\left(A\right)$ is correct.

Zeolites are used for selective catalysis as they can select the molecules they work on, in other ways besides shape and size.This is due to a very regular pore structure of molecular dimensions. The maximum size of the molecular or ionic species that can enter the pores of a zeolite is controlled by the dimensions of the channels.Zeolites are reusable over and over again.
