✦ Synopsis

A precipitated silica, produced as a waste product from the Wairakei geothermal ®eld and power station in the central North Island of New Zealand, has been found to be highly active in the hydrothermal synthesis of high quality mesostructured M41S alumino-silicate molecular sieve materials.
