Crystal growth study of K-F nanozeolite and its catalytic behavior in Aldol condensation of benzaldehyde and heptanal enhanced by microwave heating

An investigation of nanosized potassium aluminosilicate F-type zeolite (K-F, structure code EDI) converted from rice husk ash (RHA) is reported. The crystallization process was studied in an organic template-free system under microwave radiation at 100 °C and the evolution was followed by spectrosco...
