Determination of SBA-15 acidity through n-butyl amine TPD: a theoretical and experimental study

Journal of Materials Science volume 48, pages 6885–6890 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

In this study, the interaction ways between n-butyl amine and SBA-15 molecular sieve were evaluated when the TPD technique is carried out to determine the total acidity of that solid. Experimental results (FTIR, TG/DTG, total acid, and catalytic activity) and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the n-butyl amine, used as probe molecule to total acidity determined by TPD, can act as acid or base depending on the nature and force of the active sites on SBA-15.
