ZSM-5 zeolite with well defined crystal morphology and crystallinity was successfully synthesized using trine as a chelate agent. Also, the effect of crystallization temperature and time on the final product properties (e.g. crystallinity and morphology) was investigated. The obtained XRD, SEM and FTIR results showed that both of the investigated parameters have significant effects on the structural properties of the synthesized ZSM-5 zeolite. Furthermore, twinned and intergrown shape crystals of ZSM-5 zeolite were synthesized at crystallization time 120 h and temperature 175°C.
