Relationship between single and bulk mechanical properties for zeolite ZSM5 spray-dried particles

- Mechanical properties for the ZSM5 zeolite particles were characterized.
- Particle bulk compression was used to show the influence of single particle mechanical properties.
- Single particle compression and nanoindentation were used for testing individual particles.
- Adams model was shown to be suitable for describing the bulk compression.
- The predicted Adams apparent strength was in good agreement with the single particle strength.
