Effect of H2O/SiO2 Molar Ratio on Direct Synthesis of ZSM-5 from Bangka’s Kaolin Without Pretreatment

Abstract

The influence of the molar ratio H2O/SiO2 in the synthesis directly from Bangka Belitung’s Kaolin has been studied by performing synthesis of ZSM-5 with a variation of the molar ratio H2O/SiO2 is different at 15, 25, 30, and 35. Weighing 3.980 g Bangka’s kaolin are added other material so obtained molar composition 10Na2O: 120SiO2: 2Al2O3: 1800-4200H2O, and 1% of silicalite seed, subsequent hydrothermal process of 175°C for 24 hours. The result of solids was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and SEM EDX to the analyzed morphology of ZSM-5 crystal. The synthesis of ZSM-5 was directly optimum with molar ratio H2O/SiO2 of 30 having the highest cristallinity and largest crystal size of 59.44% and 3.795 µm, respectively.

Unveiling the charge transfer behavior within ZSM-5 and carbon nitride composites for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue

“…The crystalline phase and the purity of the samples were characterized using XRD. 27,28 As shown in Fig. 1, bare g-C 3 N 4 exhibits pronounce peaks at 2q of 13.2 and 27.5 .…”

Plate-like MFI crystal growth achieved by guanidine compounds

“…It is well known that the presence of a greater amount of water in the synthesis system is favorable for the MFI crystals to growing with a plate-like morphology. [40][41][42] Although this work with the morphology (L b 75-110 nm and L c /L b 9-17) did not make a breakthrough in the crystal dimensions when compared with previous results in the literature, however, it was realized from the gel containing much less water (H 2 O/Si mole ratio 14) and by crystallization in a much shorter period (at 170 °C for 12 h), which gave a significant pollution decrease and cost reduction for the industrial production of the zeolite.…”
