Synthesis of MTW-type Zeolites in the Absence of Organic Structure-directing Agent
The synthesis of MTW-type aluminosilicate zeolites in the absence of organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) was successfully attained by the addition of calcined ZSM-12 seeds to (Li, Na)-aluminosilicate gels. In this system, Li cation plays a crucial role in the growth of the MTW crystals.
