Abstract: The differential heats of adsorption for pyridine on γ-Al2O3 and NaX zeolites at 170℃~270℃ have been measured by a DTA-GCadsorption calorimetric system we designed. It is verified that the acidic sites on the surface of γ-Al2O3 are mainly L-acid sites. The acid amount would be reduced and the acid strength would be decreased as the temperature is raised. The decreasing extent of the acid strength at one adsorption site is not the same as that at another. There are two types of acidic sites which adsorb pyridine irreversibly and reversibly on the surface of NaX zeolite. The stronger type is the non-active L-acid site and the weaker one the active B-acid site. The Influence of the temperature variation upon the two types of acidic sites is not the same. The calculation result shows that the total adsorption sites in β-cages and octahedral zeolite cages are partly occupied by H2O molecules.
