Abstract

A simple model of zeolite growth and dissolution has been constructed. Lattice-energy calculations suggest that both growth and dissolution, progressing through attachment or leaching of monomeric units, involves a number of exothermic and endothermic steps. Oligomeric units may play a key role in overcoming the most endothermic (rate-determining) steps of crystal growth associated with the pictured high-energy structure.
