Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF), as a subcategory of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF), have noteworthy characteristics. ZIFs play an important role in industry as catalysts and membranes because of their high surface area, porous structure, cations exchange, high selectivity and acidic properties. Equipment analyses are used to identify the characteristics of ZIFs. The aim of this research is introduction the techniques for determining characterization of ZIF-۸ particles. The ZIF-۸ particles were synthesized through a hydrothermal method. The particles were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, BET, FE-SEM and EDS analyses. The results showed high crystallinity, high surface area (۱۳۱۳.۶۱m۲ g-۱), high pore volume (۰.۵۶cm۳ g-۱), and microscale pore size (۱.۷۳nm).
