Abstract

X-Ray powder diffraction studies have been used to measure the thermal expansion properties of three zeolites with the LTA topology and provide details of the underlying structural changes. Siliceous ITQ-29 and dehydrated and hydrated silver zeolite A have large negative, moderate negative and positive thermal expansion coefficients, respectively.
