Clinoptilolite　(CP)　with　various　morphologies,　such　as　spherical,　flower,　cylindrical,　and　disc-shape,　were　successfully　synthesized　in　the　presence　of　alcohol　solvents　with　different　carbon　chain　lengths.　The　structural　and　textural　properties　of　the　resultant　CPs　were　characterized　via　XRD,　SEM,　TG-DSC　profiles,　TEM,　NMR,　FT-IR　spectra,　and　N-2　sorption　isotherms.　The　effect　of　the　additive　amount　of　various　alcohol　solvents　on　the　induction　(nucleation)　periods　and　growth　stages　of　synthetic　CPs　were　detailed　investigated.　Their　activation　energies　of　induction　(E-n)　and　growth　(E-g)　periods　during　crystallization　intervals　were　calculated　according　to　the　Arrhenius　equation,　where　the　former　being　larger　than　the　latter,　indicating　that　nucleation　is　the　key　step　during　the　whole　synthesis　of　CPs.　Particularly,　the　E-n　value　gradually　increased　as　the　increasing　chain-length　of　the　used　alcohol,　but　smaller　than　that　without　additive　alcohols.　These　demonstrations　implied　that　the　presence　of　alcohol　solvents　is　beneficial　to　promote　the　nucleation　process　of　synthetic　CP.　Furthermore,　their　CH4　and　N-2　adsorption　capacity　and　selectivity　were　preliminary　explored,　showing　the　highest　selective　factor　of　5.58　at　0　degrees　C　for　CH4/N-2　separation　using　flower-like　CP　as　an　adsorbent.　These　results　suggested　a　promising　adsorbent　for　wide　applications　in　gas　separation.
