IR (infrared spectroscopy) and MS (mass spectroscopy) were measured together during TPD (temperature programmed desorption) of ammonia in order to simultaneously follow the thermal behavior of not only the adsorbed ammonia species but also the desorbed ammonia. The change of IR intensity with respect to temperature, i.e., IR-TPD, and MS-TPD gave us information of structure, number, and strength of acid sites, effectively. On a P-zeolite, three kinds of adsorbed ammonia species were detected at ca. 1620, 1450, and 1320 cm(-1) assignable to NH3 weakly adsorbed on the Lewis acid site, NH4+ on the Bronsted acid site, and NH3 strongly adsorbed on and/or interacted with the dislodged Al, respectively. A hydroxyl group interacted with each adsorbed ammonia was also detected; from the finding, the structure of acid site was discussed. Extinction coefficient of the NH4+ at ca. 1450 cm(-1) in the Lambert-Beer equation was determined. Catalytic activity for octane cracking was related to the amount of strong Bronsted acid site. Discussion was made on the availability of the present method to characterize the solid acidity. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
