The samples were synthesized from a synthesis solution by dissolving 7.98 g sodium hydroxide pellets (A.R) and 11.01, 8.01, 6.79, 2.73, 1.64, 0.9 g of aluminum sulphate, aluminum chloride, aluminum isopropoxide, sodium aluminate, alumina and aluminum metal (Aldrich), respectively in 69.5 g deionized water in a beaker. The mixtures in the beaker were thoroughly mixed and a 50 g Ludox AS30 colloidal silica (Aldrich) was slowly added to the above solution under stirring at high speed. The molar composition of the resulting synthesis gel was 12Na2O: 100SiO2:2Al2O3: 500H2O. Prior to being transferred to a Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave, the above synthesis solution was aged for 20 hr at room temperature and then hydrothermally treated
