Abstract
FAU-type zeolite (FAU@F-90) with a very high BET specific surface area (SBET) of 1035.4 m2/g and a higher crystallinity is synthesized by using fluorinated silica gel. It not only exhibits a saturated adsorption capacity (Cs) of 288.7 mg/g for toluene, much higher than that of a referenced FAU-type zeolite (FAU-90) with a lower SBET synthersized by using conventional silica gel (177.9 mg/g), but also superior adsorption–desorption recycling stability, which is in striking contrast to a substantial decrease in Cs after recyled for FAU-90 due to its lower crystallinity. This is ascribed to the pivatol of F−, which increases the rSiO2/Al2O3 and the crystallinity of zeolite.
