SSZ-13 Zeolite
H+ form (Type A)
Product Detail
SSZ-13 is a chabazite (CHA)-type aluminosilicate zeolite in the ABC-6 family of zeolites. SSZ-13 has a topology similar to chabazite, but SSZ-13 has a high silica composition. The Si/Al ratio is >5, which results in a low cation exchange capacity. SSZ-13 was patented in 1985 by the Chevron Corporation and is used as a solid catalyst in the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process and in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx. In addition, SSZ-13 is useful for gas adsorption separation of small organic molecules, industrial waste gas treatment, air purification, and hydrogen storage.
SSZ-13 from ACS Material has been tried and tested by leading research institutions around the world. ACS Material SSZ-13 (Type A) is prepared by the hydrothermal method and supplied in the H+ form with a SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 13–15 and a BET surface area of >600 m²/g. This product is calcined and ready to use directly.
