Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
It is evident that the detailed understanding of acidic properties and structural features of zeolites as well as the complex nature of interactions between catalytic sites and reacting species is of great fundamental and practical importance, and that significant progress in this area can be achieved with the help of modern characterisation techniques. In this work FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, XRD, high resolution multi-quantum NMR, in combination with structure modelling will be applied to pinpoint the position of catalytic sites in zeolites. The detailed characterisation of acid sites in multichannel zeolite frameworks having different Si/Al ratio will facilitate catalyst optimisation for olefin transformation, particularly for isobutylene production. This study will yield fundamental information on the acid function in microporous materials, which is imperative for understanding their catalytic properties and for the development of advanced materials with optimum catalytic performance.
