Ga-MFI was synthesized by a hydrothermal process at atmospheric pressure. The effect of mole ratios of reactants on crystallization was also investigated thoroughly. The characteristics of synthesized Ga-MFI was compared with ZSM-5. The synthesis of Ga-MFI was carried out with five different mole-compositions of $\underline{a}SiO_2-\underline{b}Ga_2O_3-\underline{c}Na_2O-\underline{d}TPA_2o-\underline{e}H_2O$. The synthesized Ga-MFI and ZSM-5 were characterized by XRD and FT-IR. The inorganic cation ($Na^+$) and water played an important role in crystallinity and the organic cation ($TPA^+$) as a template played a great influence on yields. With the increase in the amount of $Ga^{3+}$, crystallization time was increased. With a fixed $SiO_2/Ga_2O_3$ ratio of 400, the optimum reaction condition was obtained at $H_2O/SiO_2$=30${\sim}$35, $Na_2O/SiO_2$=0.5${\sim}$0.6, and $TPA_2O/Na_2O$=1${\sim}$1.25. In these cases, the crystallinity and yield were more than 95% and 90%, respectively. By comparing IR spectrum of Ga-MFI with those of ZSM-5 and silicalite, it was found that Ga-MFI showed a unique peak at 970 $cm^{-1}$, which may be used to identify Ga-MFI from ZSM-5 and silicalite.

[Ga]-MFI and H-ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized under atmospheric pressure and used in the propylene aromatization. The effect of temperature on the product distribution was also investigated. The catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were compared with the commercialized H-ZSM-5 which was converted from $NH_{4}$-ZSM-5. In the propylene aromatization, product distribution does not depend on the ratio of Si/$Ga_{2}$ with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, but depend on the ratio of Si/$Al_{2}$ with H-ZSM-5 catalyst [Ga]-MFI catalyst shows better dehydrogenation and alkylation activities than H-ZSM-5 catalyst The addition of Ga to H-ZSM-5 catalyst increases the conversion of propylene, selectivity to aromatics, and alkylation. In the propylene aromatization, the selectivity to aromatics slightly increased with increasing temperature with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, while slightly decreased with increasing temperature with H-ZSM-5 catalyst.

Catalytic performance for NOx removal by Ga-incorporated silicates(Ga-silicate; Gallosilicate) with MFI type synthesized by the rapid crystallization method was reported in this study. NOx removal was investigated under the condition of O2 excess(10%), with various hydrocarbons of low concentrations. Effect of H2O(2%) addition was also considered. The result showd that the conversion from NOx to N2 was enhanced on the Ga-silicate compared with the Al-silicate. Furthermore, the performance for NOx conversion on the Ga-silicate increased with addition of water.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction was carried out over hybrid catalyst composed of $Cu/ZnO/ZrO_2$, and MFI zeolites such as HZSM-5, H-Ga-Silicate and H-Fe-Silicate. The hybrid catalyst composed of $Cu/ZnO/ZrO_2$, catalyst and HZSM-5 showed the highest yield and selectivity to $C_2{^+}$ hydrocarbon, which seemed to be due to the largest amount of Br nsted acid sites. Higher yield to $C_2{^+}$ hydrocarbon was obtained over HZSM-5 with lower $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio and also with longer ion exchange time, which showed larger amount of Br nsted acid sites, respectively. When a metal ion was exchanged into HZSM-5, the highest yield to $C_2{^+}$ hydrocarbon was obtained with descending order $Ga/HZSM-5{\simeq}HZSM-5>Zn/HZSM-5$, i.e., with the amount of $Br\ddot{o}nsted$ acid sites.
