Synthesis of Giant Zeolite Crystals by a Bulk-Material Dissolution Technique |
|
| Authors: | Shinichi Shimizu Hideaki Hamada |
| Abstract: | Using a quartz glass tube as a bulk silica source under aqueous hydrothermal conditions afforded giant crystals of MFI zeolite about 3 mm in size (see photo). Similar procedures were successfully applied to bulk aluminosilicate ceramics to synthesize large crystals of other zeolites, such as ANA, JBW, CAN, and SOD. |
