Introduction

Zeolites are crystalline porous materials that can be found in nature or obtained in research laboratories. Today, there are over 250 different types of zeolites, each with a specific distribution of pores that are of specific sizes and shapes. These pores are connected by channels, due to which the zeolites have a large surface area. Technological applications of zeolites are based on their ion exchange and molecular sieve properties. They are very diverse, and are used, among other things, as catalysts, for wastewater treatment, fertilizer development, sensor manufacturing, etc. The classical definition of zeolites says that they are aluminosilicate materials. However, both silicon and aluminum, tetrahedrally surrounded by four bridging oxygen atoms, can be replaced by various elements such as gallium, germanium, and phosphorus, which changes the properties of the obtained materials. As a result of such modification, zeolites can acquire new properties and be adapted for specific applications. This book aims to offer extensive research in the latest advancements in Zeolites and Micro-Meso Porous Hierarchical Materials, this, by providing a general introduction to this topic and exploring its diverse applications in various fields. Simultaneously, it seeks to generate research for future applications of zeolites and other hierarchical porous materials. This will help to understand them, and at the same time, their applications will be addressed, as well as their future uses will be explored.
