Rapid synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst for amination of ethanolamine.

ZSM-5 zeolite was rapidly synthesized in system containing ethylenediamine from the initial gel: (5-8) Na(2)O: 44 EDA:Al(2)O(3):100 SiO(2):4000 H(2)O. The crystals were lath-shaped. The effect of pretreatment and alkalinity on crystallinity was investigated.
