Large Anisotropic Zeolite Crystals with Controllable Morphology via Microemulsion Mediated Growth Daniel F. Shantz, Department of Chemical Engineering, Texas A&M University The current work explores synthesizing large (> 50 μm) zeolite crystals of controllable morphology by using zeolite syntheses with low solubility silica sources (BMD) in the presence of emulsions.
