Abstract:
Zeolitic materials of the LEV-type structure and methods for their production are provided. The method for producing of the zeolitic material having an LEV-type structure comprising Y0 2 and optionally comprising X 2 O 3 comprises the steps of: (1) preparing a mixture comprising one or more sources for Y0 2 , one or more solvents, and optionally comprising seed crystals; and (2) crystallizing the mixture obtained in step (1), wherein Y is a tetravalent element, and X is a trivalent element, the mixture crystallized in step (2) contains 3 wt.-% or less of one or more metals M based on 100 wt-% of Y0 2 , even more preferably contains no metal M, wherein M stands for sodium or potassium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a silicate compound, comprising (1) providing at least one layered silicate; and (2) mixing said layered silicate with water and at least one silicon containing compound according to formula R 4-m Si[-(SiR 2 ) n -R] m wherein at least one residue R is a leaving group and none of the residues R contains Si; m is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; and n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
