Abstract
With addition of surfactants, a nanocrystalline HZSM-5 zeolite was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization results showed that surfactants can constraint the crystallization of HZSM-5. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) characterization revealed that nanocrystalline HZSM-5 with more regular morphology and smaller particle size can be prepared with suitable surfactants as additives. The HZSM-5 particles were 200-800 nm in size and constructed by primary HZSM-5 nanocrystals of 3050 nm. The average particle size will grow up to 800 nm with a cationic surfactant, and decrease to 200 nm with a anionic surfactant.
