General description
LUDOX® HS-40 colloidal silica is used as a
silicon (Si) source in the synthesis of zeolites,[1] sulphate sodalite,
and aluminosilicate gels.[2]
Application
LUDOX® HS-40 colloidal silica is utilized:
- As a
template for generating mesopores[3]
- As
an excellent binder that binds catalyst components together and provides
high mechanical strength without changing catalytic properties[4]
- As a
substrate to enhance substrate adhesion in zeolites[5]
- In
the preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon (NMC), which serves as catalyst
support[6]
