Synthesis of zeolite EMT with a novel route promoted by surfactants and its benefit in catalytic performance

Abstract

Zeolite EMT with small crystal size, which was catalytically active in the alkylation of isobutane with butenes, was synthesized via a novel route promoted by surfactants with a low molar ratio of 18-crown-6 to Al₂O₃ and a short crystallization time.
