ZSM-5 zeolites with low silica-to-alumina ratios were hydrothermally synthesized by adding NH₄⁺ cation and using ammonia as mineralizer. The effects of Si source, Al source, mineralizer, and cation on the physiochemical properties of the prepared ZSM-5 zeolites were investigated. The crystallinity, crystal size, and silica-to-alumina ratio of zeolites were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR), etc. The effect of silica-to-alumina ratio on the catalytic cracking of n-heptane was also studied. The results demonstrate that the lower the silica-to-alumina ratio feeding, the harder it is for Al atoms to insert into zeolite framework. Hydrogen-form ZSM-5 zeolites with low framework silica-to-alumina ratios could be synthesized with ammonia as mineralizer and tetraethyl orthosilicate as Si source. The addition of NH₄⁺ cation enhanced the insertion of Al atom and the framework silica-to-alumina ratio of ZSM-5 further decreased to 24.2. The results of n-heptane cracking showed that the conversion of n-heptane was improved with decreasing the framework silica-to-alumina ratio of ZSM-5 zeolites, however, the selectivity of light olefins was decreased.
