Abstract

This study reports the template-free hydrothermal synthesis of Y zeolites, varying aluminum sources (aluminum powder and sodium aluminate), and water content in the synthesis precursor suspensions (140, 180, and 92 mol). Although all samples were crystallized at 90 °C for 4 h, significant differences in crystal size and phase purity were observed. Zeolite Y synthesized with 140 mol of water and sodium aluminate resulted in crystal sizes of 50–100 nm, while reducing the water content to 92 mol produced smaller crystals (50–80 nm) but introduced a GIS impurity phase. The zeolites were tested for CO₂ adsorption, revealing a direct relationship between crystal size and adsorption efficiency. Smaller crystal sizes demonstrated higher CO₂ adsorption capacities, with zeolites synthesized from aluminum powder outperforming those from sodium aluminate. This study highlights the critical role of synthesis conditions in tailoring the structure and performance of Y zeolites for CO₂ adsorption applications.

期刊介绍： Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal. Topics which are particularly of interest include: All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials Host/guest interactions Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
