Backgrounds: Bamboo leaves ash (BLA) is a cheap and sustainable silica source but under-utilized. In this work, mordenite zeolites with various morphologies synthesized from BLA are reported. Methodology: Our strategy involves merely mixing of silicate and aluminate solutions where parametric crysta...
