9、d)A comparison ismade of the absolute peak heights (sample versus reference) ofthe 24.3 2u peak.4. Significance and Use4.1 ZSM-5 is a siliceous zeolite that can be crystallized withSiO2/Al2O3ratio in the range of 20 to greater than 1000.ZSM-5, upon modification to the H-cation form (HZSM-5) ina post
10、-crystallization step, has been used since the 1970s as ashape selective, acid-site catalyst for petroleum refining andpetrochemicals production, including such processes as alky-lation, isomerization, fluid cracking catalysis (FCC), andmethanol-to-gasoline. The most siliceous member of theZSM-5 fam
11、ily, sometimes called silicalite, is hydrophobic andit is used for selective sorption of organic molecules fromwater-containing systems.4.2 This X-ray procedure is designed to allow a reporting ofthe relative degree of crystallization upon manufacture ofZSM-5. The relative crystallinity/ZSM-5 number
12、 has provenuseful in technology, research, and specifications.4.3 The Integrated Peak Area Method (Procedure A) ispreferred over the Peak Height Method (Procedure B) since itcalculates XRD intensity as a sum from several peaks ratherthan utilizing just one peak. Drastic changes in intensity ofindivi
13、dual peaks in the XRD pattern of ZSM-5 can result fromchanges in distribution of electron density within the unit cellof the ZSM-5 zeolite. The electron density distribution isdependent upon the following factors:4.3.1 Extent of filling of pores with guest molecules and thenature of these guest mole
14、cules.4.3.2 Type of cations and extent of their presence (thesecations may also affect the absorption of X rays by the ZSM-5sample).1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D32 onCatalysts and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D32.05 on Zeolites.Current edition approv

Other
17、 guest molecule types mayalso be present, including one of numerous amines, diamines,and quarternary ammonium cations that can function as atemplate for crystallization of the ZSM-5 structure.4.3.4 Because of the factors mentioned in 4.3.1 to 4.3.3 thatcould vary the intensities of the XRD peaks in
18、ZSM-5, thisXRD method will provide the best determination of relativecrystallinity when the reference ZSM-5 and sample ZSM-5have a similar history of preparation and composition.4.4 ZSM-5 can exist with either orthorhombic or mono-clinic symmetry, depending upon the composition of theprecursor gel o
19、r post-crystallization modification conditions, orboth. In the orthorhombic type, the XRD peaks centered atabout 23.1 and 23.8 2u are usually split into doublets, whereasthe less symmetric monoclinic type may show a further split ofthese peaks into triplets. The peak area intensities of thesepeaks a
20、re unaffected by the crystalline form. The XRD peak at24.3 2u for the orthorhombic form is a singlet and hence is themost suitable for the Peak Height Method (Procedure B). If the24.3 peak is split (doublet in the monoclinic form), then theIntegrated Peak Area Method (Procedure A) should be used.4.5
21、 If crystalline phases other than ZSM-5 are present in thesample, their diffraction peaks may overlap with some of theZSM-5 peaks selected for the Integrated Peak Area Method(ProcedureA). If there is reason to suspect the presence of suchcomponents, then the Peak Height Method (Procedure B)should be
22、 chosen for analysis provided that there is nointerference with the 24.3 2u peak that is used for thecalculation.5.

24、gents and Materials6.1 ZSM-5 Powder,3as reference standard, preferably witha mean particle diameter of less than 10 m.7. Procedure7.1 Carry out steps 7.2 through 7.4, in an identical manner,for both the sample ZSM-5 and the reference ZSM-5.7.2 Place about 1.5 g of finely divided ZSM-5 in the dryingo
25、ven at 105C for 2 h. Cool the sample in the hydrator and holdthere at room temperature and about 58 % relative humidity forat least 16 h.NOTE 2Grinding of course-textured samples should be done gently.Overgrinding can lead to breaking up of fine crystals and destruction ofthe zeolite.NOTE 3Drying, f
26、ollowed by rehydration, results in filling the zeolitepores with water of hydration but without an excess of moisture residingon the surface of the zeolite particles.7.3 Pack the humidity-conditioned sample into an XRDsample holder.7.4 Obtain an XRD pattern of the reference ZSM-5 and alsoobtain a pa
27、ttern of the sample ZSM-5 (in the same day), byscanning over the angle range from 11 to 32 2u usinginstrument parameters best suited to the X-ray diffractometer.The scan rate should not be greater than 1.0/min. The scanrange includes the diffraction peaks that are to be used in thecalculation for re
28、lative crystallinity. The XRD pattern of thesample can also be used to check for crystalline phases otherthan ZSM-5 that might be present and might interfere with theutility of the calculation of Procedure A (see 4.5). Fig. 1 showsa pattern for the reference ZSM-5 (H+cation form) used in thetesting
29、of this test method.7.4.1 If a strip chart recorder is used, set the chart drive at 20mm/min. Select the scale factor (for amplification) for thereference ZSM-5 pattern so that the strongest peak at 23.1 2uis between 50 and 100 % of full scale. The same scale factorshould be used for the sample ZSM-
30、5 pattern. However, if thesample gives considerably lower peak intensities, the scalefactor may be reduced (amplification increased) in order toprovide reasonable peak heights.8. Calculation8.1 Procedure A (Integrated Peak Area Method)Thiscalculation involves a comparison of the integrated peak area

32、s in the 22.5 to 25.0 2u range for both thesample ZSM-5 and the reference ZSM-5. The area is generallydetermined in one of two ways:8.1.1.1 From the counts recorded by a digital integratingsystem that is used while obtaining the pattern.8.1.1.2 By measuring the area under the peaks with aplanimeter.
33、8.1.2 Calculate the relative crystallinity using the equation:% XRD relative crystallinity ZSM-5 =SxSr3 100 (1)where:Sx= integrated peak area for the sample ZSM-5, andSr= integrated peak area for the reference ZSM-5.8.2 Procedure B (Peak Height Method)This calculationinvolves a comparison of the pea
34、k heights at 24.3 2u (mea-sured above background) from the patterns obtained in 7.4.8.2.1 Construct a baseline from the center of the backgroundscatter at 21.2 2u to the center of the background scatter at25.0 2u on the XRD patterns (hardcopy or stripchart) of thesample ZSM-5 and reference ZSM-5. De
35、termine the absoluteheights of the respective peaks centered at 24.3 2u; that is,measure the height, in millimetres, from the baseline to theapex of the peak. Fig. 2 shows an example of the peak heightdetermination.8.2.2 Calculate the relative crystallinity using the equation:% XRD relative crystall
36、inity ZSM-5 =HsHr3 100 (2)where:Hs= peak height for the sample, andHr= peak height for the reference.NOTE 4Peak area or peak heights determined by the techniques in8.1.1.2 or 8.2.1 must be obtained from XRD patterns that have a linearintensity scale, and must have a correction factor applied if the
37、scalefactors used for the ZSM-5 reference and sample patterns are different; seeTest Method D3906 and D5357.NOTE 5Some samples of zeolite may be slightly more crystalline thana chosen reference material. Thus relative crystallinity values greater than100 % may be obtained.NOTE 6Peak broadening in XR
38、D patterns of zeolites can occur for avariety of reasons, including small crystal size (below about 0.2 m),disorder, absorption, and inconsistent sample packing density. ZSM-5products can be manufactured having a wide range of mean crystal sizes,including less than 0.2 m. Thus the percent XRD relati
39、ve crystallinity ofthe small crystal ZSM-5, when calculated by the Peak Height Method(Procedure B), may be erroneously low.9.
