Rapid tuning of ZSM-5 crystal size by using polyethylene glycol or colloidal silicalite-1 seed

Role of crystal growth modifiers in the synthesis of ZSM-12 zeolite

“…reported the effect of PEG on the synthesis of ZSM-5 (MFI) [10]. 240 The addition of PEG promoted nucleation faster crystal growth 241 [10]. This report is in line with our findings for ZSM-12 (MTW) 242 zeolites.…”

“…In the presence of PEG, we observed that the shape of 171 ZSM-12 zeolite particles was uniform. reported the effect of PEG on the synthesis of ZSM-5 (MFI) [10]. 240 The addition of PEG promoted nucleation faster crystal growth 241 [10].…”

Seed-assisted OSDA-free synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite and its application in dehydrogenation of propane

“…Xue et al reported the successful synthesis of NH 4 -ZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratio and size by simply adjusting the amount of seeding suspension [15]. Addition of an organic additive and colloidal silicalite-1 seeds to the initial synthesis mixture for the fabrication of ZSM-5 were compared by Xu et al [16]. More uniform fine crystals were obtained through growing of ZSM-5 shell around seeds that showed modified catalytic performance in MTG reaction with tuned product distribution.…”

Influence of crystal size of HZSM-5 on hydrodeoxygenation of eugenol in aqueous phase

“…For example, when using zeolite as catalyst in hydrodeoxygenation reactions, the rate-determining step tends to be the diffusion of reactant/product molecules within the micropores of zeolites [14]. With the decrease in crystal size, a significant increase in the catalytic stability can be obtained in the reactions catalyzed by ZSM-5 [14,15].…”
