Offretite zeolite synthesis in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) is reported. The offretite crystals were synthesized with a high crystallinity and hexagonal prismatic shape after only 72 h of hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C. The CTABr has dual-functions during the crystallization of offretite, viz. as structure-directing agent and as mesoporogen. The resulting offretite crystals, with a Si/Al ratio of 4.1, possess more acid sites than the conventional offretite due to their high crystallinity and hierarchical structure. The synthesized offretite is also more reactive than its conventional counterpart in the acylation of 2-methylfuran for biofuel production under non-microwave instant heating condition, giving 83.5% conversion with 100% selectivity to the desired product 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran. Hence, this amphiphile synthesis approach offers another cost-effective and alternative route for crystallizing zeolite materials that require expensive organic templates.

We report the one-pot synthesis of a chabazite (CHA)/erionite (ERI)-type zeolite intergrowth structure characterized by adjustable extents of intergrowth enrichment and Si/Al molar ratios. This method utilizes readily synthesizable 6-azaspiro[5.6]dodecan-6-ium as the exclusive organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) within a potassium-dominant environment.

Cu-SSZ-13 has been commercialized for selective catalytic reduction with ammonia (NH-SCR) to remove NO from diesel exhaust. As its synthesis usually requires toxic and costly organic templates, the discovery of alternative Cu-based zeolite catalysts with organotemplate-free synthesis and comparable or even superior NH-SCR activity to that of Cu-SSZ-13 is of great academic and industrial significance. Herein, we demonstrated that Cu-T with an intergrowth structure of offretite () and erionite () synthesized by an organotemplate-free method showed better catalytic performance than Cu-ERI and Cu-OFF as well as Cu-SSZ-13.

Article Synopsis
- Erionite is a fibrous zeolite classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, posing similar or greater cancer risks than regulated asbestos minerals.
- It is linked to over 50% of deaths from malignant mesothelioma in certain villages in Turkey, highlighting its severe health impact.
- Recent research successfully determined the crystal structure of erionite using advanced techniques, which is crucial for understanding its toxicity and potential physical similarities to asbestos.

Synthesis of zeolite T with a variety of desired characteristics necessitates extensive work in formulation and practical experiments, either by conventional hydrothermal methods or aided with different approaches and synthesis techniques, such as secondary growth or microwave irradiation. The objectives of this review are to adduce the potential work in zeolite T (Offretite-Erionite) synthesis, evaluating determining factors affecting the synthesis and quality of zeolite T crystals. Attention is given to extensive studies that interconnect with other significant findings.
