Question
In the manufacuture of methanol in New Zealand. A process known as the Mobil Process is used. The catalyst involved in this process is called ZSM-5. Do you by any chance know the chemical name and formula for this substance?
I am asking this because I was reading about this process in a book but it did not actually told me what it is. I have tried numerous search engines by I could not find any satisfactory answers.
I don't know the formula, and that is because it is not a single homogeneous compound. Is is made from aluminum and silicon that exists in a solid matrix http://chemelab.ucsd.edu/methanol/memos/ZSM-5.html
Here is how to make it. Because it is heterogeneous, the average composition will be the same, but will never be exactly the same.
