Many types of zeolites have been developed based on kaolinite in previous years. This review focuses on the current reports of kaolinite-based zeolites and the important factors in their synthesis. Among the factors discussed in this review are the effect of SiO2/Al2O3 (Si/Al) molar ratio of the gel mixture, metakaolinization time and temperature, aging condition, alkalinity, and crystallization time and temperature. This review only covers the most recent kaolinite-based zeolite papers published from 2005 to present. A brief discussion on the evolution of zeolites is also included.
