Lv. Pirutko et al., EFFECT OF ZSM-11 CRYSTALLINITY ON ITS CATALYTIC PERFORMANCE IN BENZENE TO PHENOL OXIDATION WITH NITROUS-OXIDE, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 58(1), 1996, pp. 105-110
Evolution of ZSM-11 zeolite crystal and pore structure has been studie
d at 150 degrees C depending on the synthesis time. The amorphous gel
was shown to be catalytically inert over the whole induction period, w
hich precedes the crystallization process. The concentration of active
sites and the catalytic activity in the oxidation of benzene to pheno
l is related to the zeolite structure formation and the increasing deg
ree of crystallinity.
