Abstract: A zeolite designated as ZK-4 was synthesized hydrothermally in the system (TMA)2ONa2O-Al2O3- SiO2- H2Oat 80 - 100℃ with tetramethylammonium hydroxide as an organic templating agent.The pure zeolite ZK-4 could be prepared by using the mother liquor obtained after filtration as the source of templating agent.The effect of some synthetic conditions such as the amount of tetramethylammonium hydroxide used, n [ (TMA)2O + Na2O] /n (Al2O3) ratio, n (SiO2)/n(Al2O3) ratio and crystallization time, etc.on the crystalline phase of the product was investigated.When the following molar ratios of the reaction mixture, n (SiO2)/n (Al2O3)4-10, n[(TMA)2O+Na2O]/ n (Al2O3 ) > 7, n (Na2O)/n (Al2O3)=0.5-2.0, n (H2O)/ n(Al2O3)=80-450, were used, pure zeolite ZK-4 could be obtained.The synthetic products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), adsorption measurement, thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), and 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance technique.Zeolite ZK-4 has a higher thermal stability than sodium zeolite Adue to higher n(Si)/n(Al) ratio of zeolite ZK-4.
