monolithic SSZ-13 zeolite was synthesized using dry-gel conversion method. The influences of the gel composition and crystallization conditions on the crystallization of SSZ-13 zeolite were investigated. The as-synthesized product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD)
N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium (TMADa+) and choline chloridein crystallization reaction were discussed. According to the result
the monolithic SSZ-13 zeolite has typical accumulated mesopores
larger surface area and better thermal stability in air. The results in FT-IR and NMR spectra show that choline chloride could act as a secondary structure-directing agent and fill in the pores of zeolite
which significantly reduced the amount of TMADa+. It was confirmed that Choline Chloride favors accelerating zeolite nucleation
shortening the crystallization time
and improving crystallinity of the as-synthesized product.
