Abstract
The composition, acidity, and catalytic activity of Y zeolites decatio nated by two-stage ion exchange with intermediate heating at 400-700 d egrees C are studied. An increase in the temperature of thermal treatm ent is shown to decrease the Al content in the framework and increase the concentration of strong acid sites and the catalytic activity in c racking of isooctane and disproportionation of ethylbenzene. A relatio nship between the framework composition upon thermal treatment and the Si/Al ratio in the starting samples is found.
