Existence of colloidal primitive building units exhibiting memory effects in zeolite growth compositions

The study aims on clear, stable mother liquors obtained after completion of crystallization of nanocrystalline sodalite, zeolite A, and zeolite Y. It is observed that during nanocrystalline zeolite synthesis, there are specific primary particles throughout the crystalline process that can grow to form viable nuclei if provided with a source of nutrients.
