Synthesis of porous silicates

Abstract

The issues of importance and future concern in the synthesis of porous silicates and porous materials that contain a large fraction of silica, e.g. zeolites and other crystalline molecular sieves, are reviewed. The thermodynamics of zeolite synthesis are discussed, including a detailed thermodynamic analysis of the synthesis of pure-silica ZSM-5. The kinetics of porous silicate synthesis are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the control of porous structure formation through the use of organic structure-directing agents. Ordered mesoporous materials are discussed in the context of distinguishing their features from zeolites in order to describe further the unique properties of each class of material. Finally, several unresolved issues in the understanding of the synthesis process are outlined, the resolutions of which would aid in the synthesis of porous silicates by design.
