“…A hydrated sodium silicate powder (Kishida Chemical Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan; a molar ratio of SiO 2 /Na 2 O = 2.00) as a silicate source and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan; (CTA)Br) as a template reagent were used for the preparation for FSM-16, according to a procedure established by Inagaki et al 8), 11) After the calcination of the hydrated sodium silicate powder at 973 K for 6 h, the resultant solid was ground, added to distilled water, and then stirred for 3 h at room temperature. During the stirring, the calcined solid converted to kanemite (NaHSi 2 O 5 ·3H 2 O).…”
