Fabrication of hierarchically structured monolithic silicalite-1 through steam-assisted conversion of macroporous silica gel
The hierarchically structured monolithic silicalite-1 was synthesized by transforming the skeleton of the macroporous silica gel into silicalite-1 crystals through steam-assisted conversion method. It was found that the higher steam amount obviously promotes the crystallization.
