TLDR
In this article, the authors described the preparation of a member of a generation of new synthetic zeolites, called ZSM-5, which was unique because of its high silica/alumina ratio and greatly reduced coking rates for reactions with hydrocarbons.
Abstract
It has been about 20 years since Plank, Rosinski, and Hawthorne reported their spectacular results with metal-modified zeolite cracking catalysts for more efficient production of gasoline [1]. This discovery has saved an estimated 200 million barrels of crude oil each year in the United States alone [2]. In 1972, a patent by Argauer and Landolt described the preparation of a member of a generation of new synthetic zeolites, called ZSM- 5. It was unique because of its high silica/alumina ratio and greatly reduced coking rates for reactions with hydrocarbons by comparison with known low silica zeolites [3]. This material was an early member of a series of over 50 synthetic zeolitic substances prepared in Mobil laboratories.

Organic catalysis over zeolites: A perspective on reaction paths within micropores

TL;DR: A broad classification and survey of organic chemistry over zeolites is presented in this paper, which reflects, for the most part, a mechanistic rather than a process or applications frame of reference.

Inorganic molecular sieves: Preparation, modification and industrial application in catalytic processes

TL;DR: The application of zeolite-based catalysts in the production of chemicals and fine chemicals is an emerging field, and will greatly depend on the discovery of new or known structures by alternative, lower cost, synthesis routes, and the fine tuning of their textural properties as mentioned in this paper.

Zeolites: Catalysts for Organic Syntheses

TL;DR: The characteristic properties of zeolites, such as acidity, shape-selectivity and thermal stability, also enable them to be used for highly selective synthesis in the fields of chemical intermediates and fine chemicals as mentioned in this paper.

Perspectives of Micro/Mesoporous Composites in Catalysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the recent development in the field of synthesis, characterization and particularly catalytic investigation of zeolite-based materials combining micro and mesoporous features is discussed, and the relevance of individual experimental techniques for analysis of the composites, i.e., their structure, porosity, chemical composition, morphological features, and so on, are described.

Selective alkylation of toluene with methanol to produce para-xylene

TL;DR: In this paper, a controlled reduction in the effective dimensions of the catalyst pore openings, and/or channels, along with deactivation of acidic surface sites, has been proposed as a mechanism for the selective production of p-xylene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shape-selective reactions with zeolite catalysts: II. Selective disproportionation of toluene to produce benzene and p-Xylene

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism was proposed where oxides of these elements, present in the zeolites, reduce the dimensions of pore openings and channels sufficiently to favor formation and outward diffusion of p-xylene, the isomer with the smallest minimum dimension.
