Conclusions
-
1.
By means of diffuse scattering IR spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it has been shown that thermal treatment leads to dealuminization of the lattice of TsVM zeolite and to a substantial decrease in the total number of acid centers with an increase in the relative number of Lewis acid centers, related in particular to extralattice aluminum.

2.
The decrease in the total number of acid centers results in a decrease in pseudo-cumene conversion, but an increase in selectivity of isomerization. It is concluded that the reaction takes place in the mouths of the pores or on the outer surface of the zeolite.
