Zeolite A crystal structure
Zeolite A crystal, molecular model. Zeolite A is a synthetic alumino-silicate material manufactured for use as a molecular sieve. A molecular sieve is a material containing pores of a specific size, which permit small molecules (such as water) to pass through them while blocking larger ones. They are widely used in industry to purify gases and liquids or as desiccants to remove the water from substances. In synthetic zeolites such as this the pore size can be specified, for example this is an 8ring zeolite, the pores being formed of a ring of eight tetrahedra (grey) of silicon atoms and eight oxygen atoms (red)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate crystal structure of Zeolite A, a synthetic alumino-silicate material renowned for its molecular sieve properties. The molecular model depicted here highlights the precise arrangement of atoms and ions that form this remarkable compound. Zeolite A is widely utilized in various industries as an effective tool for purifying gases and liquids. Its unique feature lies in its porous nature, with pores specifically designed to allow small molecules like water to pass through while blocking larger ones. This makes it an invaluable desiccant, capable of efficiently removing water from substances. In this particular synthetic zeolite, known as an 8-ring zeolite, the pores are composed of a ring formed by eight tetrahedra made up of grey silicon atoms and red oxygen atoms. The meticulous design and engineering behind these pore structures enable selective filtration on a molecular level. The significance of Zeolite A extends beyond its practical applications; it represents the intersection between chemistry and technology. As illustrated in this computer artwork produced by Science Photo Library, the atomic composition and structural complexity make it a subject worthy of scientific exploration. This stunning image serves as a testament to mankind's ability to manipulate materials at their most fundamental levels for technological advancements that benefit society at large.
