Zeolites are advanced microporous materials that have played significant roles in our daily lives especially as it relates to adsorption, ion-exchange, catalysis and even in most petrochemical applications. In modern times, research findings have been geared towards improving and enhancing the effectiveness of Zeolite ZSM-5 as a catalyst. So, environmentally friendly, cheaper alternative have been sought. However, a locally sourced Kaolin from Kankara have been found to be precursor for zeolite synthesis as it comprises the required constituents for an aluminosilicate zeolite material. The raw material was hydrothermally activated with NaOH to synthesized zeolite ZSM-5. the method for economic purpose used conditions which included 23.4Na2O:Al2O3:83.4SiO2:4.2(TPA)2O:3750H2O, The gel obtained was left to age for a period of 48 h at room temperature and hydrothermally treated at a temperature between 100-170oC using Teflon-line autoclave at crystallization time of 72 h. The SEM reveals a well crystallized ZSM-5 sample with large, high quality hexagonal morphology and surface area of 96 m2/g. The transformation of the starting material into Zeolite ZSM-5 was evaluated using X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy to elucidate the crystallization process of Zeolites.
