The Use of Original Structure-Directing Agents for the Synthesis of EMC-1 Zeolite

Abstract

© T.J. Daou et al.By using a steric approach, it is possible to design templates matching closely with an inorganic framework. Herein, the design, synthesis and successful application of several di(azacrown ether) templates to direct the formation of EMC-1 zeolite (FAU-type) are reported. Following a high throughput experiment design, the synthesis gel composition was optimized to obtain well-crystallized materials. Taking into account their respective crystallization rates, their textural and morphological properties were comparable to their counterparts, typically structured by 15-crown-5 ether.
