Zeolites have been widely used as heterogeneous catalysts in petrochemical and fine chemical industry, but their syntheses are not sustainable because of using costly and toxic organic templates in the presence of a large amount of water under hydrothermal conditions.  The use of organic templates and water solvents produce a huge amount of wastes, which is environmentally unfriendly. In this talk, it is briefly summarized our recent green and generalized routes for synthesis of zeolites, including organotemplate-free, solvent-free, and combing organotemplate-free and solvent-free routes. For the mechanism on zeolite crystallization for green synthesis, it is reconsidered, which should be quite different from those reported previously.
