Na, TPA-ZSM-5 with Si / Al mole ratio of about 130 was synthesized at low temperature and atmospheric pressure. These intermediate products were characterized by using XRD, XRF, FT-IR, NMR, and SEM. As a result, intermediate product were different from those that synthesized by autoclave method but spectroscopic characteristics of the final products showed to be in the typical ZSM-5 region. The defect sites were observed in the final product and removed by calcination at $540^{\circ}C$. Na, TPA-ZSM-5, aboveall, was synthesized at this condition within 48hr.

Zinc oxide (5, 10 and 15 wt%) impregnated NaZSM-5 zeolite synthesized using rice husk ash as silica source was tested for $CO_2$ adsorption. The materials were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS, $CO_2$-TPD and BET techniques. The heat of the reaction (${\Delta}$Hr) derived from DSC for ZnO(10%)/NaZSM-5 was found to be 495 Btu/lb and the maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of ZnO(10%)/NaZSM-5 is 140 mg/g of sorbent. Extraction of silica from the agricultural waste, rice husk and its use in the zeolite synthesis is an added advantage in this study. Hence, from the study it is concluded that zinc oxide impregnated NaZSM-5 could be treated as novel material for $CO_2$ adsorption as they were found to be regenerable, selective and recyclable.

NaZSM 5 was synthesized in an alkaline medium and impregnated with cerium oxide by wet method using cerium nitrate as the source for cerium. There TGA results shows decomposition of nitrate at $200^{\circ}C$. The ceria impregnated ZSM 5 materials were designated as NaZSM 5 (X) where X is the percent ceria impregnated (3, 5, 7, 11, 19%). They were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX, BET techniques. XRD analysis showed decrease in intensity of the patterns with the increase in the ceria loading but crystallization of ceria to larger size is evident for 11 and 19% loading. The surface area and pore volume decreased with increase in ceria loading. The maximum adsorption capacity of NaZSM 5 (5%) is 100.2 mg/g of sorbent. The ceria impregnated NaZSM 5's were found to be regenerable, selective and recyclable.

Methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME) has been investigated over ZSM-5 zeolites and compared with that of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Although the catalytic activity was decreased with an increase in silica/alumina ratio, the DME selectivity increased. H-ZSM-5 and NaH-ZSM-5 zeolites were more active for conversion of methanol to DME than ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. $Na^+$ ion-exchanged H-ZSM-5 (NaH-ZSM-5) shows higher DME selectivity than H-ZSM-5 due to the selective removal of strong acid sites.

It was realized that the nucleation rate in the synthesis of M-ZSM-5 using various alkali cations such as $Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$ and $Cs^+$ at low temperature and atmospheric pressure was decreased in the order of $Na^+>K^+>Li^+>Cs^+$. Unlike conventional synthesis method at high temperature and pressure, the results showed that at low temperature and atmospheric pressure, the higher the nucleation rate is, the larger the crystal size of M-ZSM-5 obtained ; that is, the crystal size in the order of $K^+>Na^+>Cs^+>Li^+$. In addition, it also suggests that regardless of alkali cations to be used, the current synthesis method can produce M-ZSM-5 with BET surface area greater than $300m^2/g$ within 52hrs. of reaction time, in particular greater than $400m^2/g$ within 32hrs, for $Na^+$ cation.

Using low temperature and atmospheric pressure method, we synthesized Na, TPA-ZSM-5 with Si/Al ratio of about 100. We employed 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and FT-IR to investigate the crystallization process as a function of time. The chemical shift depends on the initial composition of reactants and changes during the course of synthesis different from those reported by others earlier. However, the chemical shift of our final product showed in the range of typical ZSM-5. And the defect site was removed by the calcine. From XRD and SEM data, the formation of ZSM-5 was also confirmed.

In this study transesterification of Triglycerides (TG) from Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) with methanol for production of biodiesel was investigated over cerium impregnated ZSM-5 catalysts. NaZSM-5 was synthesized in an alkaline medium and impregnated with cerium oxide by wet method using cerium nitrate as a source for cerium. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimeteric analysis (TGA), $CO_2$-temperature programmed desorption, and $N_2$ adsorption/desorption analysis. XRD analysis showed decrease in intensity of the patterns with the increase in the ceria loading but crystallization of ceria to larger size is an evident for 10 and 15% loading. The optimal yield of transesterification process was found to be 90% under the following conditions: oil to methanol molar ratio: 1:12; temperature: $60^{\circ}C$; time: 1 h; catalyst: 5 wt %. Here the yield of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) was calculated through $^1H$ NMR analysis. The investigation on catalyst loading, temperature, time and reusability illustrated that these ceria impregnated NaZSM-5's were found to be selective, recyclable and could yield biodiesel at low temperature with low methanol to oil ratio due to the presence of both Lewis and Bronsted basicity. Hence, from the above study it is concluded that ceria impregnated ZSM-5 could be recognized as a potential catalysts for biodiesel production in industrial processes.

Ga-MFI was synthesized by a hydrothermal process at atmospheric pressure. The effect of mole ratios of reactants on crystallization was also investigated thoroughly. The characteristics of synthesized Ga-MFI was compared with ZSM-5. The synthesis of Ga-MFI was carried out with five different mole-compositions of $\underline{a}SiO_2-\underline{b}Ga_2O_3-\underline{c}Na_2O-\underline{d}TPA_2o-\underline{e}H_2O$. The synthesized Ga-MFI and ZSM-5 were characterized by XRD and FT-IR. The inorganic cation ($Na^+$) and water played an important role in crystallinity and the organic cation ($TPA^+$) as a template played a great influence on yields. With the increase in the amount of $Ga^{3+}$, crystallization time was increased. With a fixed $SiO_2/Ga_2O_3$ ratio of 400, the optimum reaction condition was obtained at $H_2O/SiO_2$=30${\sim}$35, $Na_2O/SiO_2$=0.5${\sim}$0.6, and $TPA_2O/Na_2O$=1${\sim}$1.25. In these cases, the crystallinity and yield were more than 95% and 90%, respectively. By comparing IR spectrum of Ga-MFI with those of ZSM-5 and silicalite, it was found that Ga-MFI showed a unique peak at 970 $cm^{-1}$, which may be used to identify Ga-MFI from ZSM-5 and silicalite.

A pentasil zeolite, ZSM-5 was synthesized in the absence of organic template, $TPA^+$ ion at $210^{\circ}C$. It was realized that a conventional method can not be applied to the synthesis system where organic templates are not used. The results indicated that the compositional range for the crystallization of ZSM-5 is very narrow, requiring very careful controls in the $Na_2O/SiO_2$and $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ratios. In addition, the results showed that the effects of mixing method, aging and reaction time on the crystallization of ZSM-5 were extraordinarily significant.

ZSM-5 membrane was prepared on tubular macroporous ${\alpha}$-alumina support using a different synthesis route. The effects of organic template agent and Si/Al ratio of the synthesis gel on morphology, structure, and separation performance of the ZSM-5 membrane used for dehydration of isopropanol were investigated. High water perm-selectivity ZSM-5 membrane with a thickness of about $3.0{\mu}m$ and a low Si/Al ratio of 10.1 was successfully prepared from organotemplate-free synthesis gel with a molar composition of $SiO_2$ : $0.050Al_2O_3$ : $0.21Na_2O$ : NaF : $51.6H_2O$ at $175^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The ZSM-5 membrane exhibited high pervaporation performance with a flux of $3.92kg/(m^2{\cdot}h)$ and corresponding separation factor of higher than 10,000 for dehydration of 90 wt.% isopropanol/water mixture at $75^{\circ}C$.
