Fe-MFI zeolite was successfully synthesized using silatrane as precursor and tetrapropyl ammonium bromide as template via the sol-gel process and microwave heating technique. The effects of ageing time, heating temperature, heating time and iron concentration were investigated, and it was found that Fe-MFI synthesis favors higher heating temperatures, but is limited by the degradation of the incorporation of a template molecule. Moreover, longer ageing and heating times promote the incorporation of higher amounts of iron atom in the MFI structure. However, too long an ageing time decreases the incorporation of iron. The lower the percentage Fe loading, the greater the percentage of Fe 3+ ions incorporated into the MFI framework. The catalytic activity of Fe-MFI catalyst for the oxidation of CO was studied and it was found that these synthesized catalysts catalyzed the oxidation of CO very well.
