Read the given passage and answers following questions :
Zeolites are alumino-silicates that are micro-porous in nature. Zeolites have a honeycomb like structure, which makes them shape-selective catalysts. They have an extended 3D-nelwork of silicates in which some silicon atoms are replaced by aluminium atoms, giving them an Al-O-Si framework. The reactions taking place in zeolites are very sensitive to the pores and cavity size of the zeolites. Zeolites are commonly used in the petrochemical industry. A catalytic reaction which depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and on the size of the reactant and the product molecules is called shape-selective catalysis. For example, catalysis by zeolites is a shape selective catalysis. The pore size present in the zeolites ranges from 260-740 pm. Thus, molecules having a pore size more than this cannot enter the zeolite and undergo the reaction.
In which chemical industry Zeolites used ?
