ABSTRACT:

The aim of this phase of our study is to demonstrate how cobalt-containing aluminophosphate molecular sieves with structure types AFI and AEL can be synthesized from a clear homogeneous solution.  The advantage of beginning with a clear solution is that transient phases, either crystalline or amorphous, can be more easily identified. The nature of these phases and their role in the crystallization process can be seen more easily. HF is used as a mineralizing agent. It has been reported that the presence of F anions in the synthesis mixture can improve considerably the AlPO(sub 4)-5 type crystals.
