Synthesis of FER type zeolite with tetrahydrofuran as the template
Abstract
FER (ferrierite) zeolite was hydrothermally crystallized in a gel system of sodium aluminosilicate with tetrahydrofuran (THF), a nitrogen-free organic compound, as the template; characterization by using TG/DTG/DTA and 13C MAS NMR shows that THF is incorporated in the pores of the as-synthesized FER zeolite.
