Atom-economical synthesis of a high silica CHA zeolite using a solvent-free route†
Abstract
A high silica CHA zeolite is successfully synthesized in the presence of a small amount of N,N,N-dimethylethylcyclohexylammonium bromide under solvent-free conditions. Catalytic tests for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) and methanol-to-olefins (MTO) show that the sample from the solvent-free route exhibits comparable catalytic properties to that from the conventional route.
