Formulation of Shaped ZSM–5/Al2O3 Composites: Comparison of Pseudoboehmite and Nitrate-Derived Aluminum Binders
This study focuses on the shaping of ZSM–5-based granules using conventional pseudoboehmite as well as aluminum hydroxynitrate precursors obtained by partial thermal treatment of Al(NO3)3·9H2O. The starting materials and nitrate-derived precursors were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, infrared spec...
