Abstract
A series of MWW-type zeolites of increasing Si/Al ratio were investigated with respect to their acidic properties. Concentration of the Brønsted acid centers located at the external crystal surface was invariant for the entire series. Ethanol conversion to ethyl-tert-butyl ether, proceeding only at the external surface, was also constant. The OH groups in MWW zeolites were found to be homogeneous with proton affinity value equal to 1142.7 kJ/mol.
