Abstract
Developing the novel green routes for synthesis of important aluminosilicate zeolites is of significant for theoretical research and practical application. In this work, MCM-22 zeolite with MWW-topology was synthesized through seed-assisted interzeolite transformation from FAU zeolite without using additional organic template. The key influence factor to the synthesis process was investigated and the zeolite products were characterized by a series of modern techniques. It has been shown that not only the presence of MCM-22 seed, but also the appropriate SiO2/Al2O3 and Na2O/SiO2 molar ratio of starting synthesis gel with were crucial to synthesize pure MWW zeolite. The hexamethyleneimine template occluded in seed also played a key role in successful interzeolite transformation, but did not participate structure-directing of MWW product. Although the zeolite synthesized by interzeolite transformation showed lower surface area and pore volume compared with MCM-22 zeolite prepared by conventional route, the Pt modified sample exhibited promising catalytic performance in hydroisomerization of n-heptane.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
