Abstract
A series of H-ZSM-5 samples (Si/Al = 14) were modified by impregnation with phosphoric acid and consecutive calcination. The influence of this modification was investigated by FT-IR and 27Al and 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia with coupled in situ FT-IR. Phosphoric acid treatment influences strongly the textural properties of H-ZSM-5. A decreasing optical density indicates that phosphoric acid treatment is accompanied by a reduction of the short distance order caused by the reaction between phosphoric acid and zeolite framework species during calcination. 27Al MAS NMR exhibited a clear decrease of framework aluminum forming intermediated pentacoordinated aluminum and finally non-classical octahedral coordinated aluminum. Classical extra-framework aluminum disappears with increasing phosphorus content. A frequency shift for silanol groups was observed due to the modification of the environment of initially free silanol groups. Strong evidence for this assumption is the appearance of a vibration band at 1557 cm −1 which is typical for Si–NH 2 groups resulting from the reaction of NH 3 with modified silanol groups.
