Time-dependent crystallization evolution for synthesizing SAPO34 and SAPO-20 zeolites from a very active hydrogel is followed and reported where the XRD, FTIR, TGA/DTG, SEM/EDX, N2 adsorption-desorption and TPD-NH3 techniques are used. During the crystallization process, the hydrophobic trimethylben...
