Abstract

The high silica gel is well organized around the tetraalkylammonium (TAA) cations during prenucleation stage. By combined 13C- and 129Xe- NMR, two TAA+ states, either hydrated or dehydrated, and three different TAA-gel associations can clearly be distinguished:

  1. 1.

    dispersed monomelic or dimeric (either hydrated or dehydrated) TAA+ species (1–2 cations per cavity, cavity diameter ~11–16 Å)

  2. 2.

    less dispersed TAA+ ions (4–8 ions per cavity, cavity diameter ~17–23 Å)

  3. 3.

    large aggregates (TAAX)n (X=OH, Br) (n gt; 15 per cavity, cavity diameter ~30–40 Å)

The addition of alkali cations can influence both the dispersion of TAA+ species and silica gels, hence the crystallization of zeolites. A model is proposed to explain the role of different species in gels for the crystallization of high silica zeolites.
