Assignee: CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG
Field: Chemical engineering (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 17:
18. The method of claim 15, wherein the photocatalyst in the form of microparticles is a carbon-doped SSZ-13 zeolite, and wherein formation of the carbon-doped SSZ-13 zeolite comprises the steps of:
mixing N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanamine hydroxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate in water to form a reaction solution;
adding aluminium ethoxide to the reaction solution to form a gel and transferring the gel to an autoclave;
heating the autoclave to form a template-containing SSZ-13 zeolite;
collecting and drying the template-containing SSZ-13 zeolite; and
calcining the template-containing SSZ-13 zeolite to dope carbon into the zeolite.
