Abstract
A method for determining an amount of flocculant effective to recover a molecular sieve crystalline product that comprises the steps of (a) preparing a molecular sieve crystalline product mixture; (b) separating the molecular sieve crystalline product mixture into a plurality of samples; (c) mixing at least two of the plurality of samples with a quantity of flocculant to produce a plurality of flocculated samples, wherein at least two of the plurality of flocculated samples have a different ratio of flocculant to molecular sieve crystalline product mixture; (d) measuring the viscosity or zeta potential of at least two of the plurality of flocculated samples having a different ratio of flocculant to molecular sieve crystalline product mixture; (e) establishing a relationship between the quantity of flocculant and the viscosity or zeta potential measurements; and (f) determining from the relationship the amount of flocculant effective to recover the molecular sieve crystalline product.
