Abstract: By using the nanosized silicalite-1 zeolite preseeding polyurethane foams (PUFs) as templates combined with the zeolite seed-induced secondary growth in a synthesis gel free from organic templates, the large monolithic ZSM-5 zeolite foams which well inherit the morphology of PUF were simply prepared. The novel macroporous materials constructed by the zeolite units can eliminate the diffusion in some degree and have more effective promised applications in adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis.
