Аннотация:The mechanism of stepwise mordenite recrystallization has been studied by a complex of physicochemical methods: multinuclear MAS NMR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The recrystallization procedure included 4 steps: (1) treatment in alkali, (2) treatment in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant; (3) hydrothermal treatment and (4) hydrothermal treatment after pH adjustment to 8. Intermediate products were recovered during each reaction step and thoroughly investigated. The results pointed to dissolution/re-assembling mechanism. The comparison with one-step recrystallization discussed previously suggests that the stepwise addition of NaOH and surfactant does not affect significantly the recrystallization mechanism. On the contrary, stepwise hydrothermal treatment with the intermediate pH regulation enhances the condensation of siliceous species formed during desilication, leads to their rearrangement into ordered mesoporous phase and results in the product yields of 100%. Depending on the degree of zeolite dissolution and the extent of mesoporous phase overgrowth, two different types of materials were obtained: coated mesoporous zeolites and mesoporous materials containing small zeolitic fragments in the walls. It was shown that the latter could be obtained only using stepwise procedure.
