Beta zeolite has a three-dimensional porous framework structure composed of interconnected tetrahedral units of SiO4 and AlO4. Zeolite beta is one of the most commonly used zeolites in a number of catalytic reactions. Zeolite beta possesses intersecting pore channels, which places them between ZSM-5 and faujasite zeolites. Shape-selective property makes Beta zeolite suitable for the conversion of bulky molecules in various chemical reactions. Beta structured zeolites are widely used for automotive emission control, industrial off-gas purification, and reduction of VOC, NOx and N2O. As process catalysts, they are ideal for fuel upgrading, production of petrochemical intermediates, and processing chemicals. The zeolites are also suitable for adsorption purposes, such as odor removal and active carbon replacement.
