English term or phrase: silicon-selectivated
ZSM-5 of the invention is characterized by a unique behaviour when silicon-selectivated for use in the para-selective disproportionation of toluene

French translation:sélectivité activée / potentialisée
Explanation:
Selectivation, to selectivate

Termes semble-t-il papparus récement (inconnus dans tous les dictionnaires) qui d'après les sites que j'ai pu trouver signifient :
Sélectivation = activation des propriétés sélectives (comme l'action d'un catalyseur sur des molécules spécifiques) d'une substance.
On pourrait dire aussi potentialisation des propriétés sélectives...
To selectivate = action d'activer les propriétés sélectives...

Voici un exemple :

Unique Ex-situ Catalyst Selectivation

"The high paraxylene selectivity of PxMax is due to the proprietary MTPX catalyst. This catalyst is selectivated by a novel pretreatment procedure during catalyst manufacture that increases the relative rate of paraxylene diffusivity over the larger ortho- and meta-isomers resulting in a xylene product with a greater than 90% paraxylene concentration. The MTPX catalyst has excellent stability and can be regenerated"

sélectionné et activé [par?] silicone; sélectivé


Explanation:
Looks like a compound of "selected" and "activated." I can only find four instances of "selectivated" in English (and nothing at all for "selectivate" or "selectivating"), all related to silicon, so I can only conclude it must be a neologism that hasn't made it into French yet. So here is your chance to coin a new term in French--or, if you are daring, split it and use "sélectionné et activé"!
