THE ROLE OF AMINES AS TEMPLATES IN DIRECTING THE STRUCTURE OF ZEOLITES

Abstract
In this article, we have investigated the role of dimethylamine (DMA), tributylamine
(TBA), Triethanoleamine (TEA), Trishydroxymethylamine (TRIZMA), and
Hexamethyleneterraamine (HMTA), in the formation of zeolitic compounds. The
experiments were carried out in acidic and basic media using Si/Al< 10 and Si/A1>10.
The structure of the resulting synthetic zeolites were similar to Natro Davyne,
ammonium sodalite, analcime, and mordenite. We also recognized that HMTA in
basic media resulted in a new crystalline Compound
