ZSM-26 is an acronym for Zeolite-Supported Metal-26, a synthetic zeolite material used for catalysis. It is composed of aluminum and silicon, which are both arranged in a three-dimensional cage-like lattice. The metal-26 component is cobalt, which is covalently attached to the framework of the zeolite. The zeolite framework is extremely porous, allowing molecules to enter and interact with the metal-26, allowing chemical reactions to occur. This type of catalyst is used in many chemical processes, including those in the petroleum, petrochemical, and gas industries. ZSM-26 can be used to enhance the reactivity of certain molecules, leading to greater efficiency in these industries.
