In situ synthesis of zeolite FeZSM-5 derived from coal gangue for phenol degradation

Key Points

• The research aims to create a zeolite FeZSM-5 catalyst using coal gangue as a precursor.
• Used thermally activated coal gangue as the silica-alumina source.
• Conducted one-step in situ hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite.
• Focused on transforming solid waste into a usable material.
• Successfully synthesized zeolite FeZSM-5 from coal gangue.
• Demonstrated the potential for waste valorization into high-performance catalysts.
