N2 - Thin films of ZSM-5 zeolite prepared on three types of cordierite ceramic honeycomb substrates by a novel in situ crystallization method were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XRF, SEM-EDX, NH3-TPD and propane gas adsorption to examine the effect of the substrate on various properties of the ZSM-5 films. The substrates were both as-prepared and acid treated cordierite honeycombs. The XRD, FTIR and XRF results showed that silica-rich surface layers were formed on the surface of the honeycombs by the acid treatments. The SiO2/Al2O3 ratios of the ZSM-5 zeolite formed on these layers increased with increasing time of acid treatment. Both Al2O3 and SiO2 from the substrates were found to contribute to the formation reaction of the zeolite films corresponding to the Composition of the interfacial layer. The porous properties of the honeycomb substrates also varied in relation to the amount of zeolite film, which increased linearly with acid treatment time. The presence of the silica-rich interracial layer between the substrate and zeolite film increased the amount of ZSM-5 and the physical adsorption but decreased the solid acidity and amount of chemisorption.
