Abstract: Abstract: Three MTW (H-ZSM-12) zeolite samples were synthesized by (i) direct hydrothermal method, (ii) desilication of the hydrothermal obtained product and (iii) mesostructuration of zeolite ZSM-12 seeds in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The samples were characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, SEM, 27Al-MAS NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Their acidity was evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy of CO probe molecule adsorbed at 100K. The IR results were correlated with the fraction of aluminum in tetrahedral positions found by 27Al-MAS NMR as well as with the catalytic behavior toward the transformation of the test molecule of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. It was concluded that the density of the strong Brønsted acid sites, rather than the textural properties, are the dominating factor governing the catalytic performance of the samples in the target reaction.
