Abstract

A seed-induced method was applied to synthesize a series of ZSM-5 aggregates using silicalite-1 (S-1) as seeds. The samples were characterized by several techniques and studied in the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) conversion reaction in a continuous fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that the molar ratios of Na 2 O/SiO 2 and H 2 O/SiO 2 in the precursors had great effects on the physicochemical and catalytic properties. The ZSM-5 aggregates with the highest crystallinity, external surface areas, micropore volumes, mesopore volumes and small primary crystal and aggregate sizes, obtained with the molar composition of 0.12Na 2 O–1SiO 2 –0.02Al 2 O 3 –25H 2 O-0.01Seed in the precursor, exhibited the highest stability.
