These properties support its growing use in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Clinoptilolite has a high surface area and a high ion exchange capacity exploited in many medical applications. Recently, its selective adsorption properties have prompted researchers to study its potential for controlled or targeted drug delivery. In this particular field of application its unmodified, naturally occurring form showed limitations due to its hydrophilicity and small pore size. This is why the natural clinoptilolite mainly shows transient uptake of small or polar drug molecules and is not appropriate for delivery of larger or nonpolar pharmaceutical compounds. The presented review provides a summarized overview of the clinoptilolite physical-chemical properties relevant for its potential drug delivery properties and examines various strategies used to modify the clinoptilolite surface with different organic and inorganic agents. One large portion of studies have provided data on usage of surfactants, chitosan, amine-containing polymers, and green-synthesized nanoparticles for improvement of the clinoptilolite adsorption capacity. Therapeutic functionality of clinoptilolite has been achieved by these surface modifications, i.e. chitosan modified clinoptilolite enabled targeted delivery and wound healing applications. Nanoparticles usage for surface modification, i.e. CaO and MgO were also successfully tested for sustained 5-fluorouracil release in colon cancer therapy. Moreover, the clinoptilolite surface has been successfully functionalized with antioxidant and enzymatic agents. In summary, modifications of the clinoptilolite surface are a growing area of research for obtaining versatile platforms for controlled drug delivery and advanced therapeutic systems. Some of the fields that might benefit the most are oncology and wound care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":392,"journal":{"name":"Microporous and Mesoporous Materials","volume":"404 ","pages":"Article 114028"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145975625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting Y-type zeolite framework exhibited an ordered system of mesopores and interconnected macropores, which was subsequently loaded with NiMo active metals for the hydrogen desulfurization (HDS) of benzothiophene during waste lubricating oil treatment. Effect of various macropore size on benzothiophene hydrogenation performance was investigated. The results showed that macropore size variation played a crucial role in the HDS process.

Recent researches have witnessed notable progresses in developing sustainable synthesis of zeolites, including organotemplate-free, solvent-free, and near-neutral synthesis. Notably, the integration of organotemplate-free and solvent-free routes, as well as the combination of solvent-free and near-neutral routes, enables a more sustainable pathway for zeolite production.

Specifically, UJH first treated red mud at 1100 °C for 20 s (no reducing gas) to convert its iron into magnetite and Si-Al-Na components into soluble species, and simultaneously treated hard kaolin at 800 °C for 20 s to form metakaolin.

Here, we employ a time-resolved, multimodal approach to track the crystallization of Silicalite-1 (MFI) at 180 °C over shortened synthesis durations (1–5 h). The results reveal a sequential evolution from short-range ordering to partially organized pre-channels and pre-intersections that gradually link into a continuous microporous framework. Unexpectedly, transient mesopores act as temporary reservoirs for bound water, silanol groups, and template species, mediating condensation and defect healing that drive the assembly of pre-channels and their consolidation into stable intersections. This cooperative interplay between mesopores and framework growth clarifies how hierarchical order develops in the early stages of crystallization. Upon calcination, extended treatment removes residual species, opens pore network, and enhances accessibility, consolidating the matured MFI lattice.
