Abstract
We present a novel approach to remove the structure-directing agent (SDA) from as-synthesized zeolites using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). This reduces the time required to less than 60 seconds as compared to the existing thermal calcination, whose durations range from hours to days. The highly reactive plasma also results in a pronounced Q3-to-Q4 transformation in the pure-silica zeolite MFI. ? The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015.
