Abstract
27 Al and 29Si MAS and CP MAS NMR have been used to monitor structural modifications of mordenite subjected to hydrothermal dealumination, acid leaching and calcination. Six, four- and possibly five-coordinate extraframework aluminium species are formed upon expulsion of aluminium from the framework. 1H–29Si CP MAS NMR monitors the creation of Si—OH defect sites. Calcination of dealuminated mordenite greatly reduces the number of such defects, indicating that they are substantially ‘healed’ by silicon atoms from other parts of the crystal, and also via dehydration of hydroxy groups to form bridging oxygen sites. The occupancies of crystallographically inequivalent Si(0AI) sites calculated from 29Si MAS NMR spectra of dealuminated mordenite show that aluminium atoms occupy some of the T2 tetrahedral sites in the parent material.
