Abstract
Aluminum sources have a great effect on ZSM-5 crystallization which leads to change in the properties of the final product. The crystallinity of nanosized ZSM-5 zeolite from precursor’s mixtures containing different aluminum sources as sodium aluminate, aluminum chloride and aluminum nitrate has been studied. The produced samples were investigated using XRD, SEM, FT- IR, EDS and BET surface area. The average crystal size increased in the order; sodium aluminate
