Abstract: | The synthesis of zeolite membranes and thin films using the secondary growth process is briefly described. In this process colloidal zeolite particles (sols) are prepared hydrothermally and then subsequently deposited on substrates to produce uniform layers of controlled thickness, as illustrated with silicalite and zeolite-A. The formation and growth of the zeolite sols has been investigated in situ by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). SANS measurements on silicalite sols at progressively higher concentrations have provided details of the colloid interactions which lead to zeolite gel-layer structures which are uniform and free of defects. |
