Abstract:RENDE, 87030 RENDE (CS), ITALYThermal decomposition of Silicalite-1 crystals of various size was studied. The crystals were in as-made form and upon grinding. The DTA and DTG curves show differences in the temperature of thermal decomposition of TPA species occluded in the as-made crystals. These differences disappear upon grinding. The explanation of this phenomena is given.Silicalite-1, the Al-free analogue of ZSM-5 zeolite was first prepared by E. M. Flanigen et al. [1]. It has the same crystal structure as… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
