ZSM-5

ZSM-5 Synthetic Zeolite

ZSM-5 is a synthetic zeolite, with the full form Zeolite Socony Mobil–5 (framework type MFI). It belongs to the pentasil family of aluminosilicate zeolites and is widely utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst in the petroleum industry, particularly for hydrocarbon isomerization reactions.

 

With its high silica-to-alumina ratio, ZSM-5 is valued both as a catalyst and a hydrophobic adsorbent. Its unique pore structure, featuring medium-sized pores of approximately 0.55 nm, enables shape-selective catalysis, making it highly effective in refining and hydrocarbon transformation processes.

 

ZSM-5 also serves as a versatile support material in catalysis, finding broad application in automobile catalysts, VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) traps, as well as in oil refining and petrochemical industries. Its excellent thermal and hydrothermal stability, along with superior acid distribution and resistance to coking, extend its use to environmental protection, photocatalysis, and biomass energy applications.

ZSM-5 Features and Structural Highlights for Industrial Excellence

Great Thermal and Hydrothermal Resilience

ZSM-5’s robust framework of eight five-membered rings and an orthorhombic crystal system maintains integrity up to 1100°C, ensuring reliable catalytic activity. This resilience not only prolongs catalyst life but also reduces operational costs by enhancing efficiency under extreme industrial conditions, providing a competitive advantage.

Adaptable Silica-to-Alumina Balance

With a silica-to-alumina ratio ranging from 20 to infinity, ZSM-5 can be fine-tuned for optimal acidity and hydrophobicity. This flexibility allows it to adapt to specific catalytic needs, boosting efficiency and productivity in processes from fuel refinement to advanced chemical synthesis, increasing return on investment.

Precision Shape Selectivity

ZSM-5’s ten-membered ring channels offer pore sizes of 0.51×0.55 nm and 0.53×0.56 nm, ensuring shape-selective catalysis. This precision maximizes reactant conversion and product yield, reducing waste and improving product quality in petrochemical processes, leading to higher profit margins.

Advanced Hydrophobic Efficiency

High silica content gives ZSM-5 superior hydrophobicity, outmatching other zeolites in humid VOC separation. This efficiency in adsorbing nonpolar molecules minimizes water interference, enhancing process reliability and reducing costs associated with VOC recovery and emissions control.

Robust Acid Resistance

The NaAlSi(96-n)O192·16H2O framework of ZSM-5 resists all acids except HF, ensuring durability in acid-rich environments. This resistance allows for longer catalyst life and less frequent replacements, decreasing maintenance expenses and operational disruptions.

Superior Anti-Coking Performance

Interconnected elliptical and sinusoidal channels in ZSM-5 prevent coke formation, maintaining active catalytic sites. This enhances process stability and reduces maintenance needs, optimizing productivity and minimizing downtime in hydrocarbon processing for cost-effective operations.
