M. Paciga et al., CONTRIBUTION OF PARTICLE-SIZE AND ALUMINUM DISTRIBUTION TO THE PARA-SELECTIVITY OF ZSM-5 TYPE ZEOLITES, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 60(1), 1997, pp. 21-26
Para-selectivity of ZSM-5 zeolites with similar bulk Si/Al ratio, but
different particle size and surface Al concentration has been investig
ated in toluene disproportionation. Results showed that enhanced para-
selectivity is a consequence not only of the particle size but also of
the external surface aluminium concentration in the particles.
