Toward a novel type of synthetic fine control over zeolite catalysts through unusual reactors and electric fields KU Leuven
Although zeolite synthesis is essentially an assembly of silica and alumina around positively charged template molecules, the outcome heavily depends on kinetics. Yet, classic reactors and strategies barely allow any fine-control over the kinetic interplay, and thus the zeolite made, due the complex and not well understood role of Coulomb and other interactions among the assembling species, and their concentration profiles. Even for ...
