The optimization of the ZSM-5 catalyst activity with respect to crystallinity

In the synthesis of zeolites optimization of factors such as crystallinity, which encapsulates morphology, and acidity can result in optimal activity. Optimal activity is vital in chemical industries due to the fact that it results in higher yields, better selectivities and lower operational costs....
