ZSM-22 was synthesized using various sources of silica, organic template 1,6-diaminohexane, under hydrothermal conditions, with and without agitation during crystallization. Subsequently, the crystallized material was used as seeds to accelerate the crystallization process. Characterization of the ZSM-22 samples was performed by XRD, ATG/DTG and FT-IR. It was found that it is possible to synthesize ZSM-22 employing colloidal silica and pyrolytic silica as silicon sources only if the system is stirred during crystallization. The crystallization time for these systems was 13 hours, longer times of crystallization do not significantly increase the crystallinity of the sample. The addition of seeds significantly accelerates the crystallization of ZSM-22, reducing the crystallization time to only 7 hours, with stirring and with systems employing colloidal silica.

The synthesis of SSZ-13 was studied by evaluating the influence of two types of crystallization seeds with CHA structure (S 1 seeds prepared in fluoride medium and S 2 seeds by the conversion of zeolite Y), SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 (28, 40, 60 and 100) and OH/SiO 2 (0.6 and 0.8) ratios. Choline chloride was used as the structure-directing agent and the crystallizations occurred at 140 ºC from 24 to 96 h. S 1 seeds led to the coexistence of zeolites SSZ-13 and P, while S 2 seeds promoted in all SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratios and OH/SiO 2 = 0.8, the formation of pure SSZ-13 after 24 h. The SSZ-13 samples are formed by clusters of crystals with cuboid-like morphology and exhibited textural properties typical of CHA framework. SSZ-13 zeolite led to a decrease in the temperature and the activation energy required for the degradation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene polymer, demonstrating its efficiency as catalyst in this process.
