Homework 05

 

From the diagram, the effect of temperature and Si/Al on the crystallisation of some aluminosilicates can be illustrated. Use the diagram to answer following questions

 

1. Which zeolite possess the lowest Si/Al ratio

2. Which zeolite possess the highest density

3. At which temperature, Analcite can be crystallised in pure form with the highest Si/Al ratio

4. Mordenite should possess channel or cage structure, Why?

5. What is the dfference between the Mordenite that crystallised at 330 oC and that crystallised at 250 oC

6. If the Na/Al ratio for all crystallisation is higher than 1, which zeolite should be crystallised at 270 oC when the Si/Al of the gel composition is 4.5, why?
