Nanocrystallite self-assembled hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite microsphere for methanol to aromatics

Nanocrystallite self-assembled hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite microspheres (NSHZ) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal synthesis procedure in the presence of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-560). Moreover, the HZSM-5 zeolite (Commercial ZSM-5) and MSHZ zeolite (Mesoporous HZSM-5 synthesized without addition of KH-560) were also introduced as reference samples. The textural and acid properties of all fresh catalysts (HZSM-5, MSHZ, NSHZ) were...
