Abstract

The detection of all of the aluminium present in steamed zeolite H-Y catalysts by Al-27 MAS NMR at high field (18.8 T, 800 MHz for H-1) is reported; further, it is shown that it is possible by Al-27 MAS and MQMAS measurements to clearly identify four separate aluminium environments characteristic of these materials and to unambiguously assign their coordinations.
