This review summarizes some of the recently published results concerning the acid sites in the zeolites ZSM-5 and Y studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and adsorption calorimetry using different probe molecules NH3, CO, N2O and n-hexane. For the first time it has been shown that the acid sites in hydrated zeolites are accessible for n-hexane adsorption.

Titania, sulfated titania and a series of iron loaded sulfated titania catalyst with different iron loadings (39 %) are prepared by sol-gel method and calcined at 500°C. Anatase is found to be the active phase with crystallite size in the nano range. All the prepared catalysts are found to be stable up to 700°C. Acidity is measured using spectrophotometric monitoring of adsorption of perylene, thermogravimetric desorption of 2,6-dimethylpyridine and temperature programmed desorption of ammonia. The activities of the catalysts were tested for liquid phase Friedel-Crafts benzylation of toluene with benzyl chloride. It has been concluded that Lewis acid sites are responsible for the reaction.

AbstractTemperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and IR spectroscopy were used to characterize the number and strength of acid sites in Al3+-, Cr3+- and Fe3+-exchanged montmorillonite. The bases pyridine and n-butylamine occupied three different sites in the interlamellar space: (i) physisorbed base, (ii) base bound to Lewis acid sites, and (iii) protonated base. TPD profiles for pyridine were characterized by maxima at 40°, 150° and 340°C, whilst those for n-butylamine occurred at 30°, 200° and 410°C. The Al3+- and Cr3+-exchanged forms were stable up to pretreatment temperatures of 300°C, but the Fe3+-form required > 3 day exposure to base vapour to re-establish the high-temperature desorption peak. Variable-temperature IR studies showed that the number of Brönsted-bound pyridine molecules increased with increased outgassing temperature.

In this study, the characterization of In-exchanged CHA zeolite (In-CHA (SiO2/Al2O3 = 22.3)) was conducted by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). We also prepared other In-exchanged zeolites with different zeolite structures (In-MFI (SiO2/Al2O3 = 22.3), In-MOR (SiO2/Al2O3 = 20), and In-BEA (SiO2/Al2O3 = 25)) and different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios (In-CHA(Al-rich) (SiO2/Al2O3 = 13.7)). Their catalytic activities in nonoxidative ethane dehydrogenation were compared. Among the tested catalysts, In-CHA(Al-rich) provided the highest conversion. From kinetic experiments and in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, [InH2]+ ions are formed regardless of SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, serving as the active sites.

Temperature programmed desorption of pyridine and benzene was carried out on NaX-13, CaNaX and NiNaX. This was correlated with IR investigation of pyridine adsorption according to WARD3 and with microcatalytic investigations of 2-butanol dehydration and butene isomerisation. Pyridine showed three definite desorption maxima for each of the three zeolites. While the catalytically inactive NaX-13 desorbed pyridine up to 385 °C, the comparable desorption maxima of the active CaNaX and NiNaX were situated at 490 and 470 °C, respectively. IR investigations showed zeolitic cations for these adsorption centres (bands at 1443-1444,1443-1445,1447-1448 cm-1). The lower desorption temperature of the system pyridine/NiNaX, compared with CaNaX, is incompatible with the higher acidity of Ni2+ and the higher IR band level, while the desorption temperature on NaX-13 and CaNaX is conform with the acidity of the ions and the IR band. Benzene on NiNaX behaves in the same way as on NaX-13 (highest desorption temperature 160 °C) while a desorption peak still occurs at 375 °C on CaNaX. The special case of NiNaX is explained by migration of the Ni2+ into the sodalite cave.

SUZ-4 zeolite was synthesized by the sol-gel technique, followed by hydrothermal process. The effect of the molar ratio of rice husk ash based silicon dioxide to silica solution was investigated. The synthesized zeolite was characterized by XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption and temperature programmed desorption. The results show that the SUZ-4 zeolite was formed for all investigated conditions. However, the formation of MER zeolite occurred as an impurity for the content of rice husk ash higher than 75%. A needle shape crystal with mainly microporous structure is the feature of synthesized SUZ-4 zeolite. The result of temperature programmed desorption indicated that the chemical surface property of obtained SUZ-4 zeolite was weak acid sites.

AbstractWe have examined the adsorption of simple alcohols and 2-propanamine on H-ZSM-5 zeolites with Si/Al2 ratios between 38 and 520. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that most of the molecules display a clearly defined adsorption state corresponding to a coverage of one molecule per Al site. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and transmission infrared spectroscopy results for each of the molecules in this 1:1 adsorption state are consistent with adsorption being due to the transfer of a proton from the zeolite to the adsorbed molecule. These results provide additional evidence that carefully prepared H-ZSM-5 is a Bronsted acid, with one acid site per framework Al atom, in which all of the acid sites are identical in strength.
