Question
on what factors does the catalytic property of zeolite depends upon?
Expert Solution
Step 1
A catalytic reaction which depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and on the size of the reactant and the product molecules is called shape-selective catalysis.
For example, catalysis by zeolites is a shape-selective catalysis.
Step 2
Zeolites are crystalline solids structures made of silicon, aluminium and oxygen that form a framework with cavities and channels inside where cations, water and/or small molecules may reside. They are often also referred to as molecular sieves.
