This paper discusses how using various analytical methods, characterization of acid sites in beta and ZSM-20 zeolites is obtained and compared to those obtained with HY zeolite to reveal the following order of acidic strength of the framework hydroxyls: Beta > STY > ZSM-20 > or = HY. N-hexane cracking activity was consistent with the derived acidity order. 46 refs., 8 figs., 6 tabs.
