Catalytic properties of nano-sized ZSM-5 aggregates

Abstract. Nano-ZSM-5 (NZ) with well-defined porosity was synthesized by organic silica method. The material exhibited more than a twofold increase in pore volume when compared to the normal ZSM-5 (HZ). The increase in pore volume is observed in the entire range of the pores with diameter from 5A˚ to 1500A˚ . The order of increase in volume is macropores (>500A˚ ) > micropores (up to 20A�…
