Nn. Feoktistova et Lm. Vturina, EFFECT OF AMORPHOUS SEEDS ON THE CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS OF NA-A ZEOLITE, Russian chemical bulletin, 43(5), 1994, pp. 740-745
The formation of crystal nuclei occurs when alkaline aluminosilicate g
els are treated at temperatures below the crystallization temperature
or during crystallization of gels rather than during precipitation of
the gels. The linear growth rate of the crystals of Na-A zeolites yiel
ded by alkaline aluminosilicate gels in the presence of amorphous seed
s is a function of the product of the concentrations of the silicate a
nd aluminate ions in the intermicellar liquid.
