INCORPORATION OF ZINC ATOMS INTO GALLOPHOSPHATE MOLECULAR SIEVE

Abstract

Zn-doped gallophosphate molecular sieve with good crystallinity was hydrothermally prepared at 170 °C, and the addition of a small amount of ZnO to the starting gel was found to promote the crystallization process and crystal growth. The characterization by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamic simulation suggested the substitution of Zn atoms for Ga atoms in the framework of Zn-doped gallophosphate molecular sieve.
