Abstract
MOR zeolite has been effectively utilized for dimethyl ether(DME)carbonylation reaction due to its unique pore structure and acidity.During industrial production,the transformation of ammonium type MOR zeolite(NH4-MOR)into proton type MOR zeolite(H-MOR)causes inevitable dealumination.Therefore,understanding the influencing factors and dynamic evolution mechanism of zeolite dealumination is crucial.In this work,the sta-bility of framework aluminum was studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR)spec-troscopy,29Si,27Al,1H magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance(MAS NMR),and DME carbonylation performance evaluation.These results indicate that extra-framework cation Na+and NH4+could better preserve the aluminum structure of the MOR zeolite framework compared to H+,primarily due to the different'attraction'of the framework to water.Furthermore,the impact of water on the zeolite framework aluminum at high tem-perature was studied by manipulating the humidity of the calcination atmosphere,revealing the formation of extra-framework six-coordinated aluminum(Al(Ⅵ)-EF)and the mechanism of water influence on the zeolite framework aluminum.
