The physicochemical properties of the H form of the high-silica zeolites TsVK-I, TsVK-XI, and TsVM have been studied and data on their catalytic properties in m-xylene isomerization reaction have been obtained by IRS and XPES. It was found that the zeolites have B and L acid centers localized on the outer and inner surfaces of their channels and that the number of B centers localized inside the channels and the selectivity of the reaction yielding p-xylene diminish in the order TsVK-I > TsVK-XI > TsVM. Heat and steam treatment increase the selectivity of p-xylene production on account of restriction of the acid centers on the outer surface.
