Abstract: The changes of surface properties of Hβ including distribution of silicon and aluminium atoms as well as surface acid properties after treatment by NaAlO2 were studied. The samples were characterized by XRD, NH3-TPD, Pyridine-IR, 29Si MAS NMR and 27Al MAS NMR. The surface properties of Hβ zeolite changed after NaAlO2 aqueous solution treatment as follows: the total acid amount increased, Bronsted acid sites and Lewis acid sites increased. NaAlO2 aqueous solution treatment of zeolite beta may has function of realumination at a Si(0Al)A site by an isomorphous substitution Al(OH)4- anions. The results of activity for disproportionation and trans-alkylation of toluene and C9 aromatics over samples with and without NaAlO2 solution treatment were also compared. The comparison results show that the sample with NaAlO2 solution treatment has a higher aromatics conversion and a higher (B+X) selectivy, which indicates that the catalytic activity of zeolite beta increase as a result of NaAlO2 solution treatment due to a change in the surface acid properties.
