For several decades zeolites have found application as catalysts in the oil refining and petrochemical industry, because of their superior activity, stability and selectivity in major conversion and upgrading processes as compared with their amorphous equivalents. The continuing drive for higher quality transportation fuels and chemical products in addition to increasing environmental pressures provides opportunities for further enhancement of their role in industrial catalysis.

The development of zeolite catalysis is increasingly supported by advances in preparation, characterisation and testing of catalysts for the determination of property/performance relationships. The explosive growth in computational chemistry and step changes in the range of hydrocarbons accessible to quantitative study have firmly established the role of zeolite modelling, and attractive alternatives to experimentation may be imminent. Development cycles will consequently shorten and future applications of zeolites can be envisaged in processing a wider range of feedstocks, in higher selectivity and stability catalysts and in non-acid catalysts.
