Abstract

Self-bonded zeolite Beta/MCM-41 composite spheres were prepared using a two-step synthesis procedure. In the first step, mesoporous zeolite Beta spheres were obtained using anion exchange resin as macrotemplate. In the second step, the MCM-41 or Al-MCM-41 was grown both on sphere surfaces and in the pore structure of the pre-formed zeolite Beta spheres. Finally, the templating agents used in the synthesis of mesophase were removed by calcination leaving behind self-bonded Beta/MCM-41 composite spheres. Beta/MCM-41 composites were characterized by XRD, SEM and nitrogen adsorption measurements. Materials with controlled macroshape, composition and complex porosity were prepared by the approach.
