Effects of the different synthetic parameters on the crystallinity and crystal size of nanosized ZSM-5 zeolite

This review aims at investigating the effect of the different synthetic parameters on the crystallinity and crystal size of nanosized ZSM-5 zeolite. The influence of the different parameters, such as the material of the synthesis source, the material ratio to each other, crystallization time and temperature, aging time and temperature, microwave treatment, seeding, and sonication, on the size of the final product is studied and the reason for each phenomenon is explained.
