The crystal growth of SAPO-11 molecular sieve synthesized with i-Pr2NH as a novel template from mixtures of Si, Al, and P sources were studied by XRD, MAS-NMR, IR, and AAS techniques. It was found that the crystallization was improved partially by the desorption of i-Pr2NH from the crystallite products at high temperatures. The growth on (010) face was enhanced by stepwise adding external silica sol to the reaction mixtures during the synthesis process. The molecular transport and mechanism of the crystallization were discussed.
