Abstract
Methods for engineered mesoporous cellular magmatics and articles thereof are disclosed. For example, the magmatics may include a mixture of substance that, when exposed to heat for a length of time, form a foamed mass. The foamed mass may be exposed to a solution configured to cause mineralization upon and within the articles.

A method comprising:
- creating a mixture of:
- a pulverized or powdered glass;
- a pulverized or powdered blowing agent;
- and
- a vitreous material having a melting temperature higher than the pulverized or powdered glass and the pulverized or powdered blowing agent;
- applying heat to the mixture at a first temperature and for a first dwell time until:
- at least a portion of the mixture sinters;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered glass foams to form a foamed mass;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered blowing agent decomposes;
- and
- the vitreous material is enclosed by pores of the foamed mass;
- and
- applying a solution configured to cause a synthesis of zeolites upon the foamed mass.

A method comprising:
- applying heat to a mixture of a vitreous material and a pulverized or powdered glass at a first temperature and for a first dwell time until:
- at least a portion of the mixture sinters;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered glass foams to form a foamed mass;
- and
- the vitreous material is enclosed by pores of the foamed mass, wherein the foamed mass exhibits macroporous and mesoporous characteristics;
- and
- applying a solution configured to cause a synthesis of zeolites upon the foamed mass.
