Issues in Zeolite Synthesis

1 Role of the Structure-directing Agent Designed Templates  

Hypothetical modelling studies of the kind described in Chapter 4 suggest that there is a very large number of possible structure types accessible through

The main issue in zeolite synthesis is the control of the specific phase that crystallises, i.e. the phase selectivity of the crystallisation. Nobody can tell for sure whether a new given set of conditions (chemical composition, temperature, time, preparation, stirring and other synthesis parameters)...
