A simple and rapid method for synthesis of mesoporous zirconium silicate with high thermal stability has been developed using sodium silicate in place of costly silicon alkoxides as a silica source. The product was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, Nitrogen sorption isotherms, FT-IR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA).
