Abstract
Synthetic zeolites or crystalline aluminosilicates were initially applied only to molecular sieving adsorbent and super-desiccant. However, since the acidic property of cation exchanged zeolites was found in 1960, the zeolite has been developed a new application field as an unique catalyst. In this paper, the organic reactions using zeolites, as solid acidic, solid basic, metal loaded, transition metal ionic, and shape selective catalyst, were reviewed.
