The zeolite ZSM-5 is used as catalyst for various reactions in the area petrochemical, petroleum refining and fine chemicals, especially the reactions of cracking, isomerization, alkylation, aromatization of olefins, among others. Many researchers have studied the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite ZSM-5 free template and they obtained satisfactory results, so this study aims to evaluate the hydrothermal synthesis and the physicochemical properties of ZSM-5 with the presence and absence of template compared with commercial ZSM-5. The methods for hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite ZSM-5 are of scientific knowledge, providing the chemical composition required for the formation of zeolitic structure in the presence and absence of template. Samples of both zeolites ZSM-5 in protonic form were obtained by heat treatment and ion exchange, according to procedures reported in the literature. The sample of commercial ZSM-5 was acquired by the company Sentex Industrial Ltda. All samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TG / DTG / DSC, N2 adsorption and desorption and study of acidity by thermo-desorption of probe molecule (n-butylamine), in order to understand their physicochemical properties. The efficiency of the methods applied in this work and reported in the literature has been proved by well-defined structure of ZSM-5. According as the evaluation of physicochemical properties, zeolite ZSM-5 free template becomes promising for application in the refining processes or use as catalytic support, since its synthesis reduces environmental impacts and production costs / Os processos catal?ticos desempenham um papel vital na economia mundial, um neg?cio que movimenta aproximadamente US$13 bilh?es por ano, pois o valor dos produtos depende dos processos catal?ticos, incluindo os produtos petrol?feros, qu?micos, farmac?uticos, borrachas sint?ticas e pl?sticos, entre outros. A ze?lita ZSM-5 ? utilizada como catalisador em rea??es nas ?reas petroqu?mica, petrol?fera e qu?mica fina, destacando-se as rea??es de craqueamento, isomeriza??o, alquila??o, aromatiza??o de olefinas, entre outras. Muitos pesquisadores t?m estudado a s?ntese hidrot?rmica da ze?lita ZSM-5 ausente de direcionador org?nico estrutural e obtiveram resultados satisfat?rios, assim, este estudo visa avaliar a s?ntese hidrot?rmica e as propriedades f?sico-qu?micas da ZSM-5 com a presen?a e aus?ncia de direcionador org?nico estrutural, em compara??o com ZSM-5 comercial. Os m?todos para a s?ntese hidrot?rmica da ze?lita ZSM-5 s?o de conhecimento cient?fico, fornecendo a composi??o qu?mica necess?ria para a forma??o da estrutura zeol?tica em presen?a e aus?ncia de direcionador org?nico estrutural. As amostras de ambas as ze?litas ZSM-5 na forma prot?nica foram obtidas atrav?s de tratamentos t?rmicos e troca i?nica, de acordo com procedimentos relatados na literatura. A amostra de ZSM-5 comercial foi concedida pela empresa Sentex Industrial Ltda. Todas as amostras foram caracterizadas por DRX, MEV, FTIR, TG/DTG/DSC, Adsor??o e dessor??o de N2 e estudo da acidez por termodessor??o de mol?cula sonda (n-butilamina), a fim de compreender suas propriedades f?sico-qu?micas. A efici?ncia dos m?todos aplicados no presente trabalho e relatados na literatura foi comprovada pela estrutura bem definida da ze?lita ZSM-5. Conforme a avalia??o das propriedades f?sico-qu?micas, a ze?lita ZSM-5 ausente de direcionador org?nico torna-se promissora para aplica??o em processos de refino ou utiliza??o como suporte catal?tico, visto que, sua s?ntese reduz os impactos ambientais e custos de produ??o
