The hydrothermal stability of REY products, which were washed by different reagents, was observed and characterized by XRD, ICP, NMR, etc. The results reveal that the amount and the chemical type of the acidic media used for washing can significantly influence the content of remaining non-framework aluminum (NFA) and consequently further affect the hydrothermal stability of the washed REY products. The content of remaining non-framework aluminum can be well correlated with the crystallinity of REY products.展开更多
