UV-light assisted synthesis of high silica faujasite-type zeolite

abstract

Currently, the direct synthesis of faujasite-type (FAU) zeolites with Si/Al ratios greater than 3 depends on organic or inorganic additives. Here, we report the first additive-free synthesis of faujasite with Si/Al ratios greater than 3 using ultraviolet (UV) light assistance. The obtained zeolite shows excellent catalytic performance comparable to the commercial zeolite Y.
