SSZ-13

SSZ-13 (framework type code CHA) is an aluminosilicate zeolite mineral possessing 0.38 × 0.38 nm micropores.[1] It belongs to the ABC-6 family of zeolites as well as offretite, cancrinite, erionite and other related minerals.[2] The framework topology is the same as that of chabazite but SSZ-13 has high-silica composition with Si/Al > 5 which leads to low cation exchange capacity. The typical chemical formula of the unit cell can be described as QxNayAl2.4Si33.6O72•zH2O (1.4 < x <27)(0.7 < y < 4.3)(1 < z <7), where Q is N,N,N-1-trimethyladamantammonium.[1] The material was patented by Chevron research Company in 1985,[3] and has a potential use as a solid catalyst for the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process and the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx.

Synthesis

SSZ-13 can be synthesized from the following method.[4] The material is synthesized from the following batch composition:

10 Na2 : 2.5 Al2O3 : 100 SiO2 : 4400 H2O : 20 QOH.

2 g 1N NaOH, 2,78 g 0.72 M N,N,N-1-trimethyladamantammonium hydroxide (QOH) and 3.22 g deionized water are mixed. 0,1 g Al2O3 is added to the solution and mixed with 0.6 g fumed silica. The resulting viscous gel is aged for two hours and heated for 4 days at 160oC in a teflon lined steel autoclave. The crystallized product can be recovered by filtration.

Uses

SSZ-13 is a high silica zeolite with the CHA topology. Materials with this topology are of industrial interest, as potential catalysts for application in the methanol to olefins (MTO) reaction.

Recently SSZ-13 has attracted attention as the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx.[5] Actually copper-loading SSZ-13 is industrially applied to the emission control of diesel engines.

gollark: I can't see this working out very well.
gollark: You can alternatively think of that as having power generation increase quadratically as you get closer, but then there is of course the issue of your power generation satellite things melting.
gollark: Yes, right.
gollark: If I remember correctly someone was saying that electron beams could be used to detect if something was a nuclear weapon or not.
gollark: People will probably complain if their package delivery gets electrolasered and electroned.
