Abstract

AbstractUsing cheap n‐butylamine as template, ZSM‐5 zeolites have been successfully synthesized and coated on monolithic interconnected macroporous Al2O3 by the secondary growth method. The use of cheap n‐butylamine could significantly reduce the synthesis cost. Hierarchical monolithic ZSM‐5 zeolites were prepared from synthetic mixtures with different H2O/Na2O or SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. The synthesized samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and N2 adsorption‐desorption. The results show that the hierarchical monolithic zeolites were obtained with cheap n‐butylamine template as template. During the hydrothermal reaction process, the morphology of the micrometer‐sized support was well maintained. The irregular crystals were formed in a wide range of the H2O/Na2O or SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of synthetic mixtures and coated on monolithic Al2O3. The relative crystallinity of the zeolites was highest at H2O/Na2O=250 or SiO2/Al2O3=160. This type of composites exhibited hierarchical porous structures and relatively high specific surface areas.
