The aluminum-silicon distribution and mesoporosity of Y zeolites prepared by sequential NaOH desilication and ammonium hexafluorosilicate (AHFS) dealumination are compared with that of Y samples prepared via AHFS dealumination only. AHFS treatment led to severe non-uniform dealumination and substantial surface silicon deposition. Y samples obtained by sequential desilication and dealumination had substantially better dealumination uniformity and aluminum-silicon distribution. The mesopore formation in these zeolites is discussed in detail. The desilication creates defects in the framework of the parent NaY zeolite. These defects improve the intra-crystalline transport and induce mesopore formation during dealumination. The desilication- plus dealumination-treated zeolites showed higher initial activity and lower deactivation tendency in the case of 13,5-triisopropylbenzene cracking, and higher conversion rate of cumene than those zeolites modified by AHFS treatment only. These catalytic data indicate that the former could be a viable catalyst in the catalytic cracking of heavy hydrocarbons. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
