Information on available and promising for industrial implementation methods for the synthesis of granular materials based on high crystallinity ZSM-5 zeolite with a hierarchical porous structure is absent in the literature. As a result of the studies, a method for the synthesis of granular zeolite ZSM-5 of high phase purity and degree of crystallinity of −100% using tetrabutylammonium bromide as a template was proposed. The method includes the stages of mixing powdered zeolite ZSM-s5 and amorphous alumino silicate, moistening the mixture with water and mechanical granulation, drying and crystallizing the resulting granules. Chemical and X-ray diffraction examination XRD, low temperature N 2 adsorption and SEM (sc...

The significance of determining trace elements that exist in crude oils is helpful for further information about exploration, production and the refining process. In this work crude oil can be separated into products such as (gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and atmospheric distillation residue +350°C) by using atmospheric distillation unit and vacuum distillation unit. The trace metals can be determined with acceptable accuracy and precision by spectroscan MAX-G. However, the values of Ni concentration were the best in accuracy among the group of metals of interest. The average values of the results will be employed as reference values of the trace metal content in the coming discussion and using Ni and V as test elements. The crude oil samples are characterized by with a dominance of V over Ni with a V/Ni ratio of 3.7 to 2.5. Trace element analysis of the five metals in crude oils and atmosphe...
