Na16 Zr8 Si8 O40

Na16Zr8Si8O40 is a zeolite-like microporous ceramic compound combining sodium, zirconium, silicon, and oxygen in a structured framework. This material belongs to the family of silicate-based microporous ceramics and is primarily of research interest rather than established commercial production. Such zirconium-silicate frameworks are investigated for ion-exchange, gas separation, and catalytic applications where their structural porosity and cation-exchange capacity offer advantages over conventional zeolites, particularly in high-temperature or chemically aggressive environments where standard aluminosilicate zeolites may degrade.
