Zeolites are nanoporous crystalline alumino-silicates with a rich variety of interesting properties and industrial applications. With over 140 zeolite framework topologies synthetically available—each with its own range of compositions—zeolites offer size-, shapeand electrostaticallyselective adsorption, diffusion and reaction up to remarkably high temperatures. Zeolites are widely used as petr...

It is important to elucidate the role of surface areas and pore volumes hierarchical zeolites understand their behavior as catalysts. Micro-and mesopore MFI (Mobil Five zeolites) were assessed following several methods: (i) N2 adsorption at 77 K using classical corrected t-plot analyses methods, (ii) pre-adsorption n-nonane was followed by study K, (iii) non-local-density functional theory (NLD...
