Synthesis of mono- and bi-layer zeolite films on alumina substrates

AbstractBilayer zeolite films ZSM-5/ZSM-5, ZSM-5/EMC-1 and NaY/ZSM-5 were synthesized on α-alumina plates. The bottom ZSM-5 or faujasite Y (NaY) zeolite layers were obtained by direct hydrothermal synthesis or by using a seeding step followed by a secondary growth method, respectively, while the secondary growth method was used for the synthesis of all the top zeolite layers. A complete characterization of the obtained materials is proposed using various techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and nitrogen sorption measurements. Continuous and highly crystallized bi-layer zeolite films with thicknesses around 11–18 μm were obtained
