Compared with traditional hydrothermal synthesis (HTS), dry gel conversion (DGC) synthesis of zeolites has the advantages of high yield, less waste, less usage of templates,etc. Firstly, this review summarized the developments in last decade and pivoted on the role of water. In typical DGC synthesis, the gel powder keeps intact with the liquid including liquid water. However, water could also be the vapor or those adsorbed/absorbed in gel powders. Therefore, both the water added and those included in gel powder may affect the nucleation, and growth of zeolite, phase selectivity and transformation, and the properties of obtained zeolite. It is believed that water has been the prerequisite for the transformation of zeolite from initial gel. And the required amount of water differs by structural properties of zeolite. Apart from water, other factors have been seen as contributing roles as well in the synthesis condition. Secondly, the difference between HTS and DGC is discussed. Thirdly, this review provided some insights into the formation mechanism of zeolite in DGC process, where nanoparticles and semi- crystalline intermediates play the role. Finally, this review illustrated the applications of DGC in the synthesis of hierarchical zeolite, zeolite film, zeolite monolith and others. Some advices about DGC used in the synthesis of these relatively new materials are concluded.
