Abstract
This current work presents a study on using carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC) as mesopore directing agent for synthesis of mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite. The results showed that CMC, a cellulose derivative can be used as potential mesopore directing agent for synthesis of mesopore zeolite material. The obtained ZSM-5 zeolite was characterized by XRD, SEM methods and was used as catalyst for the isomerization of epoxide to synthesize aldehyde. The synthesized ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited a high catalytic activity and selectivity in the reaction. The highest conversion of about 98,2% was obtained when the isomerization of styrene carried out at suitable reaction conditions.
