- Alumina beads were coated with ZSM-5 films ranging from 150 nm to 2300 nm ill thickness. The ZSM-5 boated alumina beads were Subsequently hydrothermally treated in a silicalite-1 synthesis solution ill two steps Whereupon a dense silicalite-1 film was formed oil top of the ZSM-5 film. The materials were tested with two probe reactions and the reactivity was compared before and after coating with silicalite-1. As expected, the para-xylene (pX) isomerization reactivity showed no change for samples with and without the top layer of silicalite-1 for equal amounts Of zeolite. Surprisingly, the triisopropylbenzene (TIPB) conversion did not decrease after the silicalite-1 film was introduced. As measured by XPS, the aluminum concentration at the Surface of the uncalcined silicalite-1 film surface was lower compared to that at the Surface of the calcined ZSM-5 film. However, after calcination the concentration of aluminum was higher at the silicalite-1 film surface than at the ZSM-5 film Surface. These results Suggest that aluminum migrates from the ZSM-5 film into the silicalite-1 film during calcination and testing which results in all active top layer.

- ZSM-5 films, with thicknesses between 150 and 2300 nm, supported on 3 mm diameter alumina beads are characterised in terms of their catalytic activity and selectivity for tri-isopropylbenzene cracking and para-xylene isomerisation at 450°C. A reaction-diffusion model adequately represents the experimental data and is used to estimate intrinsic reactivity and diffusion properties of the zeolite films. Results show that the external activity, overall activity and the diffusivity increase with increasing film thickness. The variation in reactivity and diffusivity, when compared to physio-chemical data, are a result of structural defects and non-homogeneities of the zeolite film. The measured diffusivities are within an order of magnitude of those extrapolated from literature. Thick zeolite films have the largest Thiele modulus as the increase in zeolite film thickness dominates over the structural defects. The largest selectivity improvements are observed for thick zeolite films
