“…Templating with preshaped macroscopic structured precursors: Different macroscopic structured precursors such as silica monoliths, preshaped amorphous alumosilicates, [ 41 ] biological scaffolds, [ 32 ] polymers, [ 42 ] carbon structures, [ 43 ] ion exchange beads, [ 44 ] emulsions, [ 45 ] spray dried beads, [ 46 ] extrudates, [ 47 ] porous glass, [ 48 ] silica gel, [ 49 ] or even 3D printed precursors [ 50 ] have been successfully completely zeolitized. From this long list, these precursors can be classified as natural occurring and synthetic.…”
