十八世纪中期,人们便发现了天然沸石,尽管陈列在展览馆中、人们对沸石分子筛还是不了解的。到了二十世纪中期,沸石分子筛已经吸引着和支配着数家世界上最有威望的化学、化工公司和矿业主。八十年代,跨入世界主要市场,成为市场的一重要成员。人们预料,1980～2000年。沸石分子筛将成为最兴旺的实验时期,也是最令人振奋的时期。 In the mid-18th century, natural zeolites were discovered. Although they are displayed in exhibition halls, zeolite molecular sieves are still unknown. By the mid-twentieth century, zeolite molecular sieves had attracted and dominated several of the world’s most prestigious chemical, chemical companies and mine owners. Eighties, into the world’s major markets, become an important member of the market. People expect that from 1980 to 2000. Zeolite molecular sieve will be the most prosperous experimental period, but also the most exciting period.
