A seed-assisted method enabled the fast synthesis of submicron ZSM-5 from acid-leached illite without the use of any organic templates. In addition, the effects of illite activation temperature, synthesis temperature, synthesis time, Na₂O/SiO₂ ratio, SiO₂/Al₂O_3, and the amount of commercial seed were investigated. The synthesized zeolite materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption. Under these study conditions, submicron-sized ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized in a relatively short time of 3 h. The relative crystallinity of the ZSM-5 zeolite obtained was up to 115%, and the quartz impurity was kept to a minimum. Aluminium in the framework of zeolite is capable of providing acidic sites. The prepared ZSM-5 zeolite showed a slightly better catalytic performance in toluene disproportionation than ZSM-5 seeds. In addition, different commercial ZSM-5 zeolites could be utilized as seeds, including self-made zeolite crystals.

种子辅助方法能够从酸浸伊利石中快速合成亚微米ZSM-5，而无需使用任何有机模板。此外，研究了伊利石活化温度，合成温度，合成时间，Na ₂ O / SiO ₂比率，SiO ₂ / Al ₂ O ₃和商业化种子的量的影响。通过X射线衍射，扫描电子显微镜和NH ₃表征合成的沸石材料。程序升温解吸。在这些研究条件下，亚微米尺寸的ZSM-5沸石是在3小时内相对较短的时间内合成的。所获得的ZSM-5沸石的相对结晶度高达115％，并且将石英杂质保持为最小。沸石骨架中的铝能够提供酸性位点。制备的ZSM-5沸石在甲苯歧化反应中的催化性能比ZSM-5晶种略好。另外，可以使用不同的商业ZSM-5沸石作为种子，包括自制的沸石晶体。
