From the Paper:

"The unique channels and high surface area of zeolites provide these materials with a high adsorption capacity and shape-selective adsorption. Zeolites have been used to adsorb a variety of materials, which includes applications in drying, purification and separation. They can remove water to very low partial pressures and are very effective desiccants, with a capacity of up to more than 25% of their weight in water. They can also remove volatile organic chemicals from air streams, separate isomers and mixtures of gases."
