Interzeolite conversion synthesized [Fe, Al]-FER zeolites with enhanced hydrothermal stability for NH3-SCR reaction

The [Fe, Al]-FER zeolites, which are prepared from the interzeolite conversion method (from MWW to FER topology) with high Al and Fe content (Si/Al of 8–18 and Si/Fe of 11–13), exhibit excellent catalytic performances and hydrothermal tolerance for NH 3 -SCR reaction. The interzeolite conversion process can be tuned by optimizing the zeolite synthesis conditions such as synthesis gel composition, crystallization time, crystallization temperature, and adding MWW seeds. The work can provide a new strategy to synthesize high Al and Fe content zeolite with high hydrothermal stability for NO x removal.
