A fast route for synthesizing nano-sized ZSM-5 aggregates

Abstract

Nano-sized ZSM-5 aggregates have been rapidly synthesized from leached metakaolin by solid-like state conversion. Compared with the conventional hydrothermal route, the nano-sized ZSM-5 aggregates obtained by this method showed more excellent catalytic performance, C2–C4 olefin selectivity and longer lifetime to endure coke deposition.
