Controlled and rapid growth of MTT zeolite crystals with low-aspect-ratio in a microwave reactor

- Microwave-assisted synthesis rapidly produced MTT zeolites.
- Secondary growth of MTT crystals further reduced synthesis time to 6 h.
- Desilication improved pore volume of calcined MTT.
- MTT zeolites were applied in n-hexane cracking and demonstrated better selectivity to propylene.
