The National Italian Academy of Lincei and the Commission on Inorganic
and Mineral Structures (CIMS) of the International Union of Crystallography

sponsor and organize the meeting

MICRO- AND MESOPOROUS MINERAL PHASES
Mineralogical, Crystallographic and Technological aspects

6-7 December 2004
Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei - Via della Lungara 10 - Rome (Italy)

Even exclusive of zeolites, the number of known mineral phases whose
structure is characterized by the presence of micro (3 - 20 =C5) and
meso (> 20 =C5) pores is rapidly increasing. This type of compounds has
attracted the attention of materials scientists because of their
potential applications in nanotechnologies. The same types of porous
structures are active in nature and can favour solid-state
transformations of primary minerals into secondary ones. The meeting
aims to present an overview of the status of knowledge in the field
of micro- and mesoporous mineral phases, with main focus on their
structural and crystal chemical aspects, but including also their
natural occurrence, possible synthesis, chemical-physical
characterization, structure-properties relationships, and uses.
