30. Very few zeolite syntheses have been reported at low temperature [including (TPA)-silicalite-1, which can be obtained within 18 to 24 months below 35°C (76); several beryllophosphates, zincophosphates, and arsenates synthesized at 4° to 100°C (79); and zeolite A, which can be obtained from a RT gel after 30 days (20)].

33. 2O. To start the zeolite synthesis, we mixed the two precursor solutions under stirring. The solid phase contained in the colloidal suspensions (gel or zeolite particles) was recovered by repeated (three times) cycles of ultracentrifugation at 20,000 rpm for 1 hour, decanting, and ultrasonic redispersion in pure water. The growth of zeolite A was also performed at an elevated temperature (80°C for 1 to 2 days), starting with the colloidal suspension that had reacted for 10 days on the shaker at RT.
