The Role of Ethanol, Methyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide as Directing Agents in Hydrothermal Synthesis of Aluminosilicate Molecular Sieve (ZSM-5) and Its Morphologies

Zeolite ZSM-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. The absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of ZSM-5. In this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (MTPBr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...

THE ROLE OF AMINES AS TEMPLATES IN DIRECTING THE STRUCTURE OF ZEOLITES

In this article, we have investigated the role of dimethylamine (DMA), tributylamine (TBA), Triethanoleamine (TEA), Trishydroxymethylamine (TRIZMA), and Hexamethyleneterraamine (HMTA), in the formation of zeolitic compounds. The experiments were carried out in acidic and basic media using Si/Al< 10 and Si/A1>10. The structure of the resulting synthetic zeolites were similar to Natro Davyne,...

The effect of structure directing agents on the ordering of fluoride ions in pure silica MFI zeolites.

The effect of different sizes of structure directing agents on the ordering of the fluoride ions in pure silica MFI zeolites has been determined using magic angle spinning solid state NMR. By synthesizing fluoride containing pure silica MFI zeolites using methyltributylammonium cations as the structure directing agent, it has been possible to change the type of ordering seen for the fluoride io...

Synthesis of an extra-large molecular sieve using proton sponges as organic structure-directing agents.

The synthesis of crystalline microporous materials containing large pores is in high demand by industry, especially for the use of these materials as catalysts in chemical processes involving bulky molecules. An extra-large-pore silicoaluminophosphate with 16-ring openings, ITQ-51, has been synthesized by the use of bulky aromatic proton sponges as organic structure-directing agents. Proton spo...
