"Often they consist of aluminosilicate minerals or synthetic compounds that have open structures through which small molecules can diffuse, such as clays, porous glasses, microporous charcoals, active carbons etc..."

Hello,

It depends what type of molecular sieve you want to make.

The most common are aluminosilicates generally made from sodium silicate and sodium aluminate, although they can be made from any silica-alumina source including kaolin clay.

Some of the newer titanosilicate molecular sieves are made from sodium silicate and soluble titanium, usually a titanium salt like TiCl3.

Templated, very large pore molecular sieves are made by condensing silica around large molecules, like surfactants, and then removing the organic.

Pores can be from 2 Angstroms (the size of hydrogen) to biological molecules, depending how you make them.

I hope that helps!!!

It differs with the application of Sieve, but the "Nano composite materials" is more common. very fine composit fibre materials for example sillisium carbide fibrous.

aluminum silicate or stuff like clay
