9. Classification of zeolites based on structure
group structure type examples
analcime interconnected 4 membered rings analcime, wairakite, leucite
natrolite chains of tetrahedra with 6.6Aº repeat distance natrolite, scolecite,thompsonite
chabazite parallel 6 or double 6 membered rings chabazite, glemenite, erionite
phillipsite parallel 4 membered rings phillipsite, gismodine, garronite
heulandite characteristic configuration with 4 or 5 membered
rings
heulandite
mordenite each tetrahedra of the framework belongs to
atleast one 5 membered ring
mordenite,dachiardite
faujasite framework based on cubic symmetry sodalite,faujasite, phillipsite
