Interlayer Expansion of the Layered Zeolites

  • Chapter
Zeolites in Sustainable Chemistry

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

Zeolites with three-dimensional (3D) open-framework structures are generally crystallized under hydrothermal conditions. In addition to this conventional route, the formation of the 3D structures can be achieved by the structural conversion of zeolitic hydrous layer silicates (HLSs) through topotactic dehydration–condensation of silanols on the HLSs. The interlayer spacings can be expanded by the interlayer silylation of zeolitic HLSs, forming interlayer-expanded zeolite (IEZ) materials. The IEZ materials are crystalline and show similar physical and chemical properties to the conventional 3D zeolites. Creating larger interlayer space will provide more open entrance for reactants and decrease the diffusion constrains in catalytic reaction. In this chapter, recent developments of the IEZ materials, in particular interlayer-expanded MWW-, FER-, and CDO-type zeolites, are featured.
