One-Pot Synthesis of Iron-Modified Zeolite X and Characterization of the Obtained Materials

Abstract

Iron inclusion in the composition of the zeolite crystal structure endows it with new and useful properties. However, direct synthesis involving Fe, frequently creates unfavorable conditions that hinder the crystallization process and generate impurity phases. For this reason, novel methods, which include iron within the zeolitic matrix, are being sought out. This article presents a one-pot synthesis of iron-modified zeolite X. The resulting materials were characterized, and their textural, electrical, and magnetic properties were studied.
