A zeolite suspension contains MEL-type zeolite nanocrystals as a principal
component. A method for the production of MEL-type zeolite nanocrystals
includes the steps of aging a synthesized solution comprising TEOS,
TBAOH, water and alcohol and subjecting the aged solution to hydrothermal
crystallization treatment at a predetermined temperature. A method for
the production of a zeolite suspension includes the steps of aging a
synthesized solution comprising TEOS, TBAOH, water and alcohol,
subjecting the aged solution to hydrothermal crystallization treatment to
produce MEL-type zeolite nanocrystals and mixing a composition having a
surfactant dissolved in at least one organic solvent or a mixed solvent
of alcohol-based organic solvents, amide-based organic solvents and
ketone-based organic solvents with a zeolite nano-crystal suspension
containing the MEL-type zeolite nanocrystals to produce a zeolite
suspension.
