Zeolites are widely used as catalysts in the petrochemical industry in cracking of hydrocarbons.

Zeolites are used as ion-exchange beds in water purification, softening. 

Zeolite used in the petroleum industry is ZSM-5. It converts alcohol directly into gasoline (petrol).

Zeolites are used to separate molecules (only molecules of certain sizes and shapes can pass through), and as traps for molecules so they can be analyzed.  Zeolites are also used as catalysts and sorbents. Thus, they can act as Molecular sieves.
