Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods of synthesizing a zeolite with a silica-to-alumina ratio (SAR) of 10 or greater comprising, e.g.: forming a reaction mixture including at least one alumina source, at least one silica source, and at least one organic structure directing agent, wherein the reaction mixture has a solids content of about 10% or greater, and crystallizing the reaction mixture at a temperature of 100 C. or less at atmospheric pressure to form a zeolite.
The present disclosure provides a method of making zeolite intergrowths. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method of making an AEI-based material, including the steps of: preparing a mixture of water, an alumina source, a silica source, a CHA structure directing agent, and an AEI structure directing agent, wherein the molar ratio of the CHA structure directing agent to the AEI structure directing agent is from about 1:1 to about 1:15; heating the mixture at a temperature sufficient to promote formation of crystals; and calcining the crystals at a temperature of from about 450 C. to about 750 C. to obtain a product, wherein no halide-containing reagent is employed. The AEI-based materials of the present disclosure may find particular use in selective catalytic reduction of NOin exhaust gas streams.
