What is differences between Zeolites and silica-alumina?

Though both of these substances are made of an aluminosilicate framework, there are some key differences in regard to their morphologies, physical properties, and acidity. For instance silica-alumina is an amorphous material, and zeolites on the other hand are cyrstalline in nature. A key physical difference is that zeolites are typically microporous (i.e. very small pores) and silica-alumina are mesoporous (i.e. moderate sized pores). Lastly the Bronsted acid sites on zeolites have been found to significanly stronger than those on silica-alumina, due to the homogeneity of the zeolite.
