Nano-zeolite Ba-X with different ratios of SiO2/Al2O3 was synthesized through hydrothermal process and ion-exchanged with barium. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption and FTIR spectroscopy. The selectivity for para-xylene relative to other isomers was found to be 7.191, 2.819 and 3.745.
