The authors have examined the adsorption of methanol, 2-propanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol on H-ZSM-5 samples with silica/alumina ratios of 38, 70, and 520 using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to examine the effect of Al concentration on the strength of the acid sites. In agreement with the results of a previous study, a clearly defined adsorption state corresponding to a coverage of one molecule per Al atom could be identified for each of the alcohols on each of the zeolites, with the possible exception of methanol on H-ZSM-5(520). Furthermore, the unimolecular reactivities of the molecules in these 1:1 adsorption complexes are unaffected by the Al concentration. Only secondary reactions, such as the extent of the oligomerization of olefin products formed from 2-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol, are found to be different for the different samples. Adsorption complexes with a 1:1 stoichiometry are also observed following adsorption and evacuation of 2-propanamine and 2-propanone on several zeolite samples, showing that molecules with other functional groups also form adsorption complexes at the Al sites. These results imply that the acid sites in H-ZSM-5 are identical and are present at a concentration of one per Al atom.
