Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide compositions of crystalline zeolite materials with tailored crystal habits and the methods for forming such crystalline zeolite materials. The methods for forming the crystalline zeolite materials include binding one or more zeolite growth modifiers (ZGMs) to the surface of a zeolite crystal, which results in the modification of crystal growth rates along different crystallographic directions, leading to the formation of zeolites having a tailored crystal habit. The improved properties enabled by the tailored crystal habit include a minimized crystal thickness, a shortened internal diffusion pathlength, and a greater step density as compared to a zeolite having the native crystal habit prepared by traditional processes. The tailored crystal habit provides the crystalline zeolite materials with an aspect ratio of about 4 or greater and crystal surfaces having a step density of about 25 steps/?m2 or greater.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel aqueous aluminum complex compositions and methods of making and using them. The novel compositions comprise very low halide content, even when made from aluminum chlorohydrate. The compositions find use in the production of zeolites, coatings, abrasives, binders, and refractories; and in the treatment of wastewater for example. The methods of making the novel compositions include passing a first aqueous aluminum complex composition through an anion exchange column or otherwise contacting the first composition with the anion exchange resin to provide a second aqueous aluminum complex composition that is different from the first aqueous aluminum complex composition. Also disclosed are methods of making zeolites and aqueous silica-alumina compositions from the novel aqueous aluminum complex compositions.

Also disclosed are novel methods of preparing RHO zeolites with improved morphology control.
