ZSM-5 (Zeolites Socony Mobil-5) is a synthetic microporous zeolite of MFI framework type , with a higher silicato-alumina ratio, good thermal stability, and high contact surface area. With its unique framework structure, ZSM-5 possesses unique selectivity properties and thus is commonly used as an adsorbent and as a catalyst in the petrochemical industry . These properties together with acid resistance and pores of 5.1 -5.6Å , make ZSM-5 a good adsorbent of heavy metals and a suitable candidate for extracting Cu 2+ (1.28Å diameter) from contaminated media.
