Giant MFI zeolite crystals up to approximate to4 mm were synthesized from a
piece of quartz glass tube as the silica source under hydrothermal conditi
ons. Large crystals of zeolites with other frameworks, such as ANA, JBW, CA
N and SOD were also synthesized under similar preparation procedures. (C) 2
