Using Temperature Programed Analysis for Acid Site Characterization of Solid Acids
Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicates that are commonly used as catalysts and adsorbents in many applications. Acid site characterization of a zeolite is crucial to gauge and optimize for a wide variety of different catalytic activities. In this case study the effect of different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios on acidity of ZSM-5 and the effect of heat…
