“…in zeolite framework in terms of occupation of specific crystallographic position (T sites), a certain region of the crystal as well as their quantity, i. e., n(Si)/n(T) ratio, is determined by the nature of the T atom itself, the source chemicals of the each T atom, the chemical composition of the reaction mixture (e. g., initial n(Si)/ n(T) ratio, pH), the type of mineralizer as well as the reaction conditions (e. g., temperature, agitation, supersaturation, etc.). [16][17][18][19] Herein, the variations in the framework n(Si)/n(Al) ratio were achieved via changes in the zeolite preparation temperature. The Cu-containing zeolites were characterized in terms of their structure and morphology (XRD, SEM, TEM, ICP-OES, NMR), texture (N 2 sorption), acidity (FT-IR studies of pyridine (Py) sorption), the nature of the copper species (DR UV-Vis, TEM and EPR) and were investigated as the catalysts for the NH 3 -SCR-DeNO x .…”
