An Infrared Study of Pyridi,ne Adsorbed on Acidic Solids. Characterization of Surface Acidity
نویسنده
چکیده
The infrared spectrum in the 1400 to 1700 cm-1 region has been determined for pyridine adsorbed on acidic solids. The spectrum of pyridine coordinately bonded to the surface is markedly different from that of the pyridinium ion. This permits the differentiation of acid type on the surface of acidic solids. From the frequency shift of one of the bands of coordinately bonded pyridine over that found in the liquid phase, and from the relative retention of the band upon evacuation and heating, a very rough estimate of the strength of surface Lewis sites can be inferred. It is shown that a silica surface hydrogen bonds pyridine only. Alumina has considerable strong Lewis acidity but no proton acidity while a cracking catalyst has both. The effect on the acidity of sodium poisoning a cracking catalyst is discussed.

Acidity Characterization of H-zsm-5 Catalysts Modified by Pre-coking and Silylation
A comprehensive study on the acidic and coking properties of selectivated H-ZSM-5 catalysts during xylene isomerization has been made. The effects of surface modification by pre-coking and silylation on the nature and location of carbonaceous deposits and on related acidic features of the spent catalysts were respectively characterized by Xe NMR of adsorbed Xe and solid-state P MAS NMR of adsor...
متن کاملInfrared studies of the surface acidity of oxides and zeolites using adsorbed probe molecules
The use of infrared spectroscopy to probe the surface acidity of oxides and molecular sieves is reviewed. The experimental requirements and the type and nature of probe molecules available are also discussed. Special emphasis is given to the criteria that have to be met to arrive at a characterization of the solid that is useful for its catalytic application.
متن کاملInfrared Study of Pyridine Adsorbed on Montmorillonite Surfaces
T H E NATURE of pyridine adsorption by acidand base-saturated montmorillonite from Otay, California (A.P.I, no. H-24) was studied by infrared adsorption. The spectrum for chemisorbed pyridine was found to be distinctively different from physically adsorbed pyridine; the latter gave a spectrum very similar to liquid pyridine. Upon exposure of the clay films to pyridine at low vapor pressures, on...
متن کاملThe origin of aluminum flocs in polluted streams.
About 240,000 square kilometers of Earth's surface is disrupted by mining, which creates watersheds that are polluted by acidity, aluminum, and heavy metals. Mixing of acidic effluent from old mines and acidic soils into waters with a higher pH causes precipitation of amorphous aluminum oxyhydroxide flocs that move in streams as suspended solids and transport adsorbed contaminants. On the basis...

This study investigates the effect of surface acidity and basicity of aluminas on asphaltene adsorption followed by air oxidation. Equilibrium batch adsorption experiments were conducted at 25°C with solutions of asphaltenes in toluene at concentrations ranging from 100 to 3000 g/L using three conventional alumina adsorbents with different surface acidity. Data were found to better fit to the F...
