Abstract
Simultaneous temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements were performed with n-propylamine and isopropylamine in H-FER and H-TON in order to test whether the Brønsted-acid sites associated with the 10-ring, straight channels in H-FER could be distinguished from the acid sites in the side cavities. In H-TON, the saturation uptakes were identical for both amines, as were the acid-site densities determined from the amounts of amine which reacted to olefin and ammonia products above 600 K. By contrast, the saturation uptake for isopropylamine in H-FER was much lower than the uptake of n-propylamine and the site density determined from the amounts which react were also significantly lower. It is argued that the n-propylamine results for H-FER provide a measure of the total Brønsted-acid-site density, while the isopropylamine results provide a measure of the site density in the 10-ring channels.
