Implication

Experimental study demonstrates efficient cyclohexene hydration using template-free ZSM-5 zeolite, highlighting a cost-effective pathway for industrial cyclohexanol synthesis.

Key Points

To synthesize cost-effective ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts with tailored acidity and diffusion properties using a template-free crystallization method for cyclohexene hydration.
Synthesized ZSM-5 zeolites via seed-induced crystallization without organic templates, varying the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio (15–100) and seed suspension content (0.5–20 wt%).
Characterized catalyst physicochemical structures and evaluated hydration performance under conditions of 120 °C, 4 hours, and a 1:1 cyclohexene-to-water volume ratio.
All synthesized catalysts formed highly crystalline MFI structures, with the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio dictating acidity and seed volume controlling crystal size.
The catalyst prepared with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 50 achieved a 10.7% cyclohexanol yield, matching the 10.2% yield of commercial ZSM-5.
