Room temperature detemplation of zeolites through H2O2-mediated oxidation.
Detemplation of zeolite beta has been successfully achieved at low temperature by controlled oxidation of the template using H2O2 and catalyzed by traces of Fe3+. With this approach, unlike calcination, the pristine structure of the material is well preserved; no extra-framework aluminium is formed.
