Zeolite crystallization in hydrated silicate ionic liquids: A model system for zeolite science KU Leuven
After decades of intense research, insight in zeolite nucleation and crystal growth remains limited. By investigating zeolite formation in hydrated silicate ionic liquids (HSIL), this PhD intends to shed new light on zeolite crystallization. Unlike other synthesis strategies, HSIL synthesis enables zeolite crystallization from a controlled liquid, a model system that is compatible with most characterization tools. Molecular investigation ...
