Abstract

A series of hierarchical ZSM-48 zeolites was prepared by seed silanization. The structural and textural properties of the hierarchical ZSM-48 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, 27Al and 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy adsorbed by pyridine (Py-IR). It was found that the crystal size of ZSM-48 was significantly reduced by seed silanization. Due to the secondary porosity in the mesopore region generated in hierarchical ZSM-48, both the total surface area and the pore volume of the material have a considerable increase. The enhancement of the textural properties could be controlled by changing the amount of silanizaiton agent.
