Synthesis of ZSM-5 type zeolites with and without template and evaluation of physicochemical properties and aniline alkylation activity

ZSM-5 zeolite containing SiO2/Al2O3 = 28 was synthesised by hydrothermal process with and without template. Characterisation of the zeolites was done using XRD, IR, NMR, SEM and BET surface area measurements. Acidity of the zeolites was measured by ammonia adsorption-desorption. Catalytic activity of HZSM-5 zeolites was evaluated by aniline alkylation, cumene dealkylation, alkylation of benzene with ethylene and propylene and isomerisation ofm-xylene. Catalytic activity is discussed from the point of view of zeolite acidity and morphology.
