Abstract

Zeolite L has been synthesized by magadiite conversion method. The crystallization behavior and changes of medium-range structure during the crystallization were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron micrograph, vibrational spectroscopy and 27Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance. It is indicated that parts of 6 member-rings in magadiite still exist as secondary building units although the long-range order of magadiite was collapsed in the initial stage. The 4 member-rings and 8 member-rings were formed after the sample was heated for 3 h and 4 h, respectively. The influence of various parameters such as reaction temperature, time and substrate composition was examined. Highly crystallized and pure zeolite L could be prepared from the substrates with molar composition: 0.56M2O–xAl2O3SiO249H2O (M2O = K2O + Na2O, x = 0.0033–0.04) by heating at 140 °C for 18 h, 160 °C for 12 h or 180 °C for 8 h.
