Abstract

A comprehensive study of synthesizing zeolite nanoparticles, with the addition of organic template, by reflux method has been chalked out to form crystals. The method is effectivly for the synthesis of zeolite nanocrystals, incorporating alkali metals, silica and organic template. The organic templates tetra-propyl ammonium hydroxide (TPAOH), tetra-propyl ammonium bromide (TPABr) or (TPABr, N,N,N-tripropyl-1-propanaminiumbromide), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were added to assist the formation of zeolite (Albite) crystals. A cross linker tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was also mixed. Addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) resulted into a unique nano morphology of Albite (when the time of reaction was less than 240 h). Effect of additives on morphology, particle size, crystal geometry, surface area, and particle shapes was characterized with FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, BET, EDX and SEM. For the practical point of view, Kevlar supported polymer membrane with the Zeolite as catalyst is used. Results show that polymeric supported fabric and catalyst supported fabric have same result with response to mechanical testing. This suggest that the Kevlar supported polymer membrane has potential application in industrial cables, asbestos replacement brake lining, under water applications, tyres, and body armors.
