Tungsten trioxide can be introduced into the cavities of zeolite X or direc
tly reacted to yield socialite derivatives of the hauyne type by straightfo
rward solid-state reactions. Decisive factors for the formation of either t
ungsten-oxide doped zeolite X or derived sodalites are the relative concent
rations of the reactants, the reaction temperature and the cations present,
The incorporation and conversion are monitored and interpreted by means of
UV absorption spectroscopy, DTA/DTG, XRD and IR spectra. (C) 2001 Elsevier
