ZSM stands for Zeolite Socony Mobil

ZSM, or Zeolite Socony Mobil, is a synthetic zeolite characterized by its unique crystalline structure and high surface area. Developed by Mobil Oil Corporation, ZSM is primarily used as a catalyst in petrochemical refining and in the production of fuel and chemicals. Its porous framework allows for efficient adsorption and selective separation of molecules, making it essential in various catalytic processes, including isomerization and hydrocracking. ZSM has applications in the oil and gas industry, as well as in the synthesis of fine chemicals and materials.
