Synthesis of Bulk Zeolite by Modified Hydrothermal Process and Its Characterization

Abstract

Fabrication of bulk zeolite such as silver ion exchanged Y-zeolites was attempted by the modified hydrothermal processing. The present synthetic processing was modified from thermal hot-pressing developed by Yamasaki. Using this process, the authors were successful for the dense bulk silver ion exchanged Y-zeolite. The microstructure of bulk FAU zeolite were obsd. by FE-SEM, XRD and XAFS. Also, the relation of microstructure and properties are discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]
