A high‐silica zeolite with a TON structure designated as ZJM‐4 was successfully synthesized in the absence of any organic templates and zeolite seeds. Many factors such as the SiO 2 /K 2 O ratio, Si/Al ratio, SiO 2 /H 2 O in the starting aluminosilicate gels, crystallization temperature, and crystallization time strongly influence the formation of the ZJM‐4 zeolite. Interestingly, this synthesis shows very efficient silica utilization in the starting gels (>80 %). Catalytic tests on the isomerization of m ‐xylene to p ‐xylene show that the ZJM‐4 catalyst has high selectivity to p ‐xylene (ca. 80 %), which could be potentially important for industrial applications for the ZJM‐4 zeolite as a candidate catalyst in the future.
