✦ Synopsis
Controlled hydrothermal treatment of H-ZSM-5 at 500°C causes a transformation of framework into non-framework aluminium, as indicated by means of cation exchange and IR spectroscopy. After treatment with nitric acid, partial extraction of non-framework aluminium was observed. The non-framework aluminium-containing samples showed an enhanced p-xylene selectivity in the catalytic disproportionation of toluene and in the isomerization of m-xylene. The subsequently extracted samples had lost this property. A model of the decisive role of nonframework aluminium in shape selectivity is discussed.

The ethylation and the disproportionation of ethylbenzene on ZSM-5 zeolites yield a mixture of the three isomers ortho-, meta-and para-diethylbenzene. The two reaction systems were simulated on the basis of an adsorption/diffusion/reaction-model using both a continuum and a Monte Carlo approach. Par
