ZSM-5, Pentasil Zeolites MFI Structure Type Advanced Zeolite Material
ZSM-5 is the trade name for zeolite socony mobil-5, a pentasil aluminosilicate zeolite. Each pentasil unit is made up of eight 5-membered rings, and individual pentasil units are connected to each other by oxygen bridges to form regular corrugate sheets with 10-ring holes. The channel structure and acidity of ZSM-5 lends itself to a number of industrial uses such as acid-catalyzed reactions and as a support material for catalysis.
The ZSM-5 molecular sieve boasts unique and exceptional properties, which are widely employed in important processes and applications across a broad range of industries. Commonly used in converting methanol to gasoline and diesel as well as oil refining, ZSM-5 has proved superior to amorphous solid acid catalysts in reactions such as xylene isomerization, toluene disproportionation and toluene alkylation etc. Upon ion exchange or modification, H-ZSM-5 zeolites can be derived to also possess enhanced para-selectivity. All in all, the high versatility of this zeolite makes it a truly indispensable material across many industries.
