An accurate model of the surface growth of one of the most important industrial zeolites, zeolite A, has been created. Comparison of the simulation (see picture) with experimental data in the form of atomic force micrographs highlights the non‐diffusion‐limited nature of zeolite growth and provides the first ever quantification of fundamental crystal growth processes in zeolites.
