Hydrothermal synthesis of size-controlled silicalite-1 crystals

The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of hydrothermal method for the synthesis of small and homogeneous silicalite-1 zeolite. The influences of crystallization time, crystallization temperature, different organic solvents and different TPAOH template concentrations were investigated. The results showed these parameters had played important roles in controlling particle size of silicalite-1 zeolite.
