Mixed template effect adjusted by amine concentration in ionothermal synthesis of molecular sieves.

Structure-directing role of amines in the ionothermal synthesis.

The structure-directing effect of amine has been observed in the ionothermal synthesis of aluminophosphate molecular sieves in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid. The seven different amines we tested have an influence on the crystallization dynamics and the final product, leading to the formation of pure AFI and ATV structures.

Ionothermal synthesis of AlPO4-34 molecular sieves using heterocyclic aromatic amine as the structure directing agent

Ionothermal synthesis of aluminophosphate molecular sieves

Effects of ionic liquid structures on the aluminophosphate molecular sieve products in ionothermal synthesis process were investigated. The results showed that the possible structure-directing effect of ionic liquid might exist during ionothermal synthesis. Microwave heating was introduced into the ionothermal synthesis, which led to a fast and safe process for preparation of molecular sieves. ...

Effect of water on the ionothermal synthesis of molecular sieves.

AlPO4-11 and AlPO4-5 molecular sieves are ionothermally prepared without addition of water by using anhydrous starting materials, such as NH4H2PO4, pseudoboehmite (AlOOH), and NH4F. The synthesis appears to be an autocatalytic process. Water has a remarkable effect on the synthesis process. Addition of reagent quantities of water (H2O/Al = 1, molar ratio) can enhance the crystallization kinetic...

Ionothermal synthesis of magnesium-containing aluminophosphate molecular sieves and their catalytic performance.

Owing to their promising catalytic and adsorptive properties, microporous materials, often referred to as molecular sieves or open-framework materials, have attracted more and more attention in different research fields. Among them, microporous aluminiophosphate molecular sieves (designated AlPO4-n) have been extensively studied by many authors, owing to their wonderfully complex structures and...
