Abstract

This contribution reports the synthesis of zeolite A (LTA) nanocrystals with narrow particle size distribution and sphere-shaped morphology in the presence of cationic microemulsion. The results presented here show that the microemulsion environment can accelerate the crystallization of LTA nanocrystals. The composition of the microemulsion and the reaction time can significantly affect the crystallinity and the particle size distribution of the resulting LTA nanocrystals. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to confirm zeolite crystallinity, phase purity, and morphology.
