In this paper, we report a novel meso-
ZSM-5 zeolite with a network structure of interconnected
macropores, mesopores and micropores through a novel
process of the self-assembly of CTAB surfactant micelles
with silica–alumina source which originates from the
alkaline treatment of zeolite ZSM-5 and contains secondary
building units characteristic of ZSM-5 besides the
zeolite crystals.
