Zeolites with grain size less than 100 nm, which bear both the unique physical properties of nano grains and the unique micropore character of zeo lites, are big potentials in replacing the existing zeo lite catalysts and in developing novel environmental ly-benign catalytic processes. We observed[1] in the alkylation of ethylbenzene with ethylene that the at tenuation of the HZSM-5 crystallites into nano-size significantly increases the catalyst activity and dura bility. Yet studies on the modification of nano-zeo lites in order to improve their low shape-selectivity remain unreported.rn
