| Abstract
| - Infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and NH3-stepwise temperature-programmed desorption(STPD) were used to study the acidity characteristics of dealuminated ZSM-12 and β zeolites in a wide rangeof Si/Al ratios. For all samples, the STPD experiments revealed the presence of five distinct peaks. A 1:1relation between the Al atoms of each sample and ammonia determined from the STPD experiments wasderived, thus indicating that this technique can probe accurately all acid sites for zeolites with Si/Al ≥ about20. A careful deconvolution of the FT-IR peaks indicated that only the as-synthesized ZSM-12 sample possesseda small number of Lewis acid sites. We found that ammonia desorbs completely from those Lewis sites uponan increase of temperature above 150 °C. It is remarkable to note that all the dealuminated ZSM-12 samplesdo not possess any Lewis acid sites. This is in contrast to what is commonly known since during dealuminationframework aluminun atoms move to extraframework locations. It seems that during the dealumination ofZSM-12 the acid “washes” all the extraframework Al atoms. This was not the case for β zeolite since theas-synthesized and dealuminated β zeolites with Si/Al ≤ 80 possess Lewis sites. By coupling results fromthe NH3-STPD and FT-IR studies, we found that the Lewis sites of β zeolites are of weak strength sincechemisorbed ammonia does not remain on those sites at temperatures higher than about 300 °C. These resultsare in very good agreement with the Al-27 NMR data which indicate mostly the presence of tetrahedral sitesfor ZSM-12; an extremely small abundance of octahedral sites were detected only with Si/Al ratios < 40.Si-29 NMR data can be described by at least three distinctly different Si sites. On the basis of the chemicalshift and intensity distribution data, two of these sites can be assigned to Q4 and the remaining Si site isconsistent with being a Q3 site. For β zeolite Al-27 NMR spectra show a relatively high concentration ofoctahedral sites, thus supporting the presence of Lewis sites. Furthermore, the NMR peaks for the tetrahedralsites in β zeolite are asymmetric and broad compared to ZSM-12 samples, indicating the presence of two ormore different tetrahedral or distorted tetrahedral sites. The Si-29 NMR spectra of β zeolite are qualitativelysimilar to those observed for the ZSM-12 samples.
