Eco-friendly synthesis of high silica zeolite Y with choline as green and innocent structure-directing agent
Zeolite synthesis in contemporary chemical industries is predominantly conducted using organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs), which are chronically hazardous to humans and the environment. It is a growing trend to develop an eco-friendly and nuisanceless OSDA for zeolite synthesis. Herein, choline is employed as a non-toxic and green OSDA to synthesize high silica Y zeolite with SiO2/Al2O3 ratios of 6.5-6.8. The prepared Y zeolite samples exhibited outstanding (hydro)thermal stability at ultrahigh temperature owing to the higher SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. The XRF, SEM, Si-29-NMR and Na-13+ results suggested that choline plays a structure-directing role in the synthesis of Y zeolite, while the feed molar fraction of Na+ is a crucial determinant for the framework SiO2/Al2O3 ratio and the crystal morphology.
