Abstract

Highly crystalline and pure SSZ-13 zeolite is obtained by interzeolite conversion of zeolite Beta and zeolite L. Zeolite Beta is used without preliminary treatment, while zeolite L is subjected to dealumination in order to reach the Si/Al ratio appropriate for the synthesis of SSZ-13. The formation of SSZ-13 from conventional chemicals is also studied. The crystallization from zeolite precursors is much faster and provides pure and highly crystalline SSZ-13. The improved crystal growth kinetics is attributed to the directing effect of the dissolved Si-O-Al fragments from zeolite Beta and zeolite L frameworks. CHA-type zeolites obtained from dealuminated zeolite L crystallized faster, showed higher crystallinity and more defined crystals morphology in respect to those obtained from zeolite Beta. The dealuminated zeolite L was found to be an outstanding starting material for the crystallization of SSZ-13.
