Synthesis of b-axis oriented ZSM-5 zeolite by mechanochemical-assisted quasi-solvent-free method and its MTO catalytic performance

In this paper, b-axis oriented ZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized by solvent-free method with ammonia as growth regulator. Zeolites were characterized by modern detection techniques such as XRD, SEM, BET and NH3-TPD. The results showed that ammonia could not only promote the crystallization of ZSM-5 zeolite, but also direct the synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite with b-axis oriented morphology, which was beneficial to enhance the selectivity of light olefins. B-axis oriented ZSM-5 zeolite did not need to be mixed and aged in aqueous solution, which could reduce the discharge of sewage, and avoided the generation of autogenic pressure in the crystallization process. Furthermore, it is consistent with the concept of environmental friendliness, which could guide the green preparation of industrial ZSM-5 zeolites.
