A simple and rapid method for
synthesis of mesoporous zirconium silicate with high thermal stability has
been developed using sodium silicate in place of costly silicon alkoxides as
a silica source. The product was characterized by means of X-ray
diffraction, Nitrogen sorption isotherms, FT-IR spectroscopy, transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA).
