摘要
The acid properties of H-ZSM-5 zeolites with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios (30, 50, 80, 150, 280 and 1000) were examined by means of the temperature programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). Different pretreatments together with a comparison of different curve-fitting methods after desorption of ammonia were used to differentiate between different adsorption sites. 27Al-MAS-NMR spectroscopy was applied to distinguish the framework (AlF) from the extra-framework aluminum (AlEF). Both techniques reveal that the concentration of Brf8;nsted acid sites is lower than expected when considering the aluminum content. The strength of the Brf8;nsted acid sites, determined by a theoretical model assuming the free readsorption of ammonia, is found to be in the range of ΔH = 129–161 kJ mol−1 and shows variations in the acid strength to be less than σ = 12 kJ mol−1.
