Sustainable Routes for Zeolite Synthesis

  • Chapter
Zeolites in Sustainable Chemistry

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

The modern synthesis of zeolites mainly involves the use of organic templates, the addition of solvent, the preparation of starting gels, and the heating of the gels. Each step could be made greener in the future. This chapter presents a brief overview on the recently reported green routes for synthesizing zeolites, mainly focusing on the reduction or elimination of organic templates as well as the complete elimination of solvent. To overcome the disadvantages of using organic templates, nontoxic templates and template recycling steps have been employed in the zeolite syntheses. In addition, organotemplate-free synthesis has become a popular and universal methodology for synthesizing zeolites. Particularly, seed-directed synthesis in the absence of organic templates is a general route for synthesizing a series of zeolites. From an economic and environmental standpoint, solvent-free synthesis is a great move toward “green” synthesis of zeolite due to the following: high yields, high efficiency, low waste, low pollution, low pressure, hierarchical porosity, and simple and convenient procedure. Combining the advantages of solvent-free and organotemplate-free synthesis would particularly open the pathway to a highly sustainable zeolite synthesis protocol in industry.
