ZSM-5 Zeolite Molecular Sieve

ZSM-5 molecular sieve is a zeolite molecular sieve with the high-silica three-dimensional cross-over and straight-through new structure. Being lipophilic and lyophobic, ZSM-5 molecular sieve has a high thermal stability and hydrothermal stability. The pore diameter of most ZSM-5 molecular sieves is around 0.55nm, which falls under the category of the mesopore molecular sieve. The unique pore structure can not only limit the space for shape selective catalysis, but also offer diverse inflow and outflow channels for reactants and products. Meanwhile, it can form a crystal structure basis for preparation of high-selectivity, high-activity, and strong carbon deposit inactivation industrial catalysts.

   

ZSM-5 molecular sieve has 6 characteristics, as following: thermal stability, acid resistance, stability in the water vapor, hydrophobicity, prevention of carbon deposit, outstanding shape selectivity. So, it is the most important catalytic materials in shape-selective reactions in the petroleum industry. And can be widely used in the field of fine chemical engineering and environmental protection.
