ZSM-5 crystals have been prepared by Fluoride combined with low-water synthesis route. The zeolite was characterized for high Si/Al ratio (SAR) of 194.4 with good adsorption and catalytic prowess when analyzed by SEM and XRD. The prepared zeolite was employed in the petroleum refinery wastewater tre...
