of microwave-assisted crystallisation zeolite formation is possible. The time required for
zeolite formation by microwave-assisted crystallisation is less when compared to the con-
ventional crystallisation route (Table 6.13).
Effect of Microwave Heating on Si/Al Ratio: The Si/Al ratio of microwave-assisted crystal-
lisation had been studied. The maximum Si/Al ratio was reported for 4 h of microwave
heating and minimum was 1.6 for 8 h of microwave heating (Table 6.14). There is no certain
order in Si/Al ratio behaviour (see Tables 6.15 through 6.19).
