Abstract

This chapter discusses the fabrication of hollow fibers and spheres composed of zeolites by layer-by-layer adsorption method. Hollow fibers and spheres of zeolite (HFZ and HSZ, respectively) are successfully fabricated using carbon fibers and polystyrene (PS) spheres as templates respectively, through layer-by-layer technique, coupled with removal of the templates by calcination. The optimum performance conditions to obtain these kinds of materials are systematically studied. The wall thickness and composition of these novel materials can be readily tailored by varying the number of nanozeolite/PDDA [poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride)] deposition cycles and zeolite type used, respectively. The properties of these novel materials are characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
