Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Zeolites from Solid Wastes

With the rapid development of industrialization, it is inevitable to produce solid wastes in the fields of energy petrochemical industry. However, the storage and utilization of these solid wastes have become a considerable challenge. Due to the main element composition of these solid wastes including silicon and aluminum, it has attracted extensive attention for synthesizing zeolites. This review summarized the properties of major solid wastes including coal fly ash, coal gangue, spent fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst, lithium slag, bauxite residue, and waste glass. Then, the preparation of LTA, FAU, ZSM-5, SSZ-13, Beta, and MOR zeolites from these solid wastes were introduced. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives were discussed.
