Abstract

ZK-5 (KFI) molecular sieve was synthesized in the K₂O:SrO: Al₂O₃:SiO₂:160 H₂O:THF system using conventional hydrothermal heating. Effect of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was investigated. Products were characterized by XRD, TGA, FESEM, EDX and TPD-MS. THF influences the crystallinity and crystal size of ZK-5. The molar ratio of THF/Al₂O₃ from 0.4 to 1.0 gives the best results in terms of crystallinity (measured by XRD) and purity for the prepared ZK-5. Crystal size of ZK-5 zeolite is reduced by the presence of THF.
