Characterisation of Zeolite Precursor Gels Over Wide Q Range

DOI

Our objective is to determine new structural information about the structure of amorphous silicate gels formed early in the synthesis of crystalline, microporous zeolites. This information may hold the key to a fuller understanding of the crystallisation mechanism of these important materials. We have previously used total neutron scattering on SANDALS to examine such gels in the presence of their mother liquor and can detect structural differences between the solution and amorphous solid. The full analysis if this data is revealing interatomic correlations, which we can compare with the crystalline zeolite product. To complete the characterisation of this system we now wish to study longer length scales and examine particle size and morphology of these precursors. By using NIMROD we can measure a large Q-range i(Q) to match with our previous data and obtain the required information.
