Abstract Although the formation of zeolites in geopolymers have been mentioned in many works, a particular interest in geopolymer-zeolite composites started to increase very recently. Such hybrid materials connect the advantageous properties of both constituents: geopolymer serves as a strong and durable support for zeolites, when zeolites provide high surface area, porosity and adsorption capacity. The composites can be therefore used as bulk-type adsorbents as well as membranes in separation and pervaporation processes. The possibility of the utilization of industrial wastes for their production is also a sustainability benefit. This review article highlights advances in the field of geopolymer-zeolite composites manufacturing and applications. The resistance of zeolites in geopolymer matrices, methods of their detection and effect of their presence on the properties of hybrid materials are discussed as well.
