Write George Cody at the Geophysical Lab. He may still have some of the original silicalite that Tom Hoering used back in the olden days.
We want to remove n-alkanes from petroleum fractions using ZSM-5. However, the information in the literature is a bit non-committal as to the specifics of the zeolite and commonly used distributors. Can anyone send my any information you might have as to specific vendors and specific ZSM-5 type? Also, we are interested in acquiring some "silicalite" with 6A pore size. This was a Union Carbide product and we cannot find a modern day distributor in the continental US. HELP!!!
