Zeolitical materials for microbiological filtrations.

ABSTRACT

The paper presents some aspects about synthesis of new materials called zeolites which can be utilised as filters with wide application in clinical practice in microbiology and in pharmaceutical industry. The SAPO-5, SAPO-11 and SAPO-34 zeolites were synthesised by hydrothermal crystallisation and using different mixtures. The crystallisation was carried out in teflon-lined stainless steel autoclaves at 180-195 degrees C for 1-2 days, under autogenous pressure. Filtering properties of these materials are different because their pore diameters are different.
