The ZSM ‐5 zeolite particles have been prepared using triethanol amine as structure‐directing agent under static hydrothermal condition at 170°C for 7 days. The particles were characterized by X‐ray diffraction ( XRD ), thermogravimetry analysis ( TGA ), differential thermal analysis ( DTA ), Fourier transform infrared ( FTIR ) spectroscopy, N 2 physisorption measurements, and field emission scanning electron microscopy ( FESEM ). The crystalline ZSM ‐5 was found at 170°C/7 days as shown by XRD . The vibration bands at around 549 and 1226 cm −1 in the FTIR spectra indicated the presence of double 5‐ring in ZSM ‐5. The exothermic peak at 395°C in DTA curve indicated the removal of structure‐directing agent. The BET surface area of the particles was 100 m 2 /g. The FESEM images showed coffin‐shaped and broom‐like crystals of ZSM ‐5.
