S. Khodabandeh et Me. Davis, SYNTHESIS OF CIT-3 - A CALCIUM ALUMINOSILICATE WITH THE HEULANDITE TOPOLOGY, Microporous materials, 9(3-4), 1997, pp. 149-160
The synthesis of CIT-3, a calcium aluminosilicate zeolite of compositi
on CaO:Al2O3:7-7.2SiO(2):6H(2)O possessing the HEU topology is accompl
ished by hydrothermal transformation of a specifically prepared zeolit
e P1 using calcium-containing solutions and HEU seeds. In the absence
of seeds, a synthetic epistilbite phase is obtained. Details of the sy
nthetic methodology necessary for the preparation of CIT-3 an enumerat
ed.
