Lights and Shadows of Gold Introduction into Beta Zeolite.

ABSTRACT: Four different methods for gold deposition on Beta zeolite, namely impregnation, ion-exchange, deposition-reduction, and grafting on (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane functionalized support, were applied to investigate their influence on textural/structural changes in the zeolite support and its surface acidity. The as-prepared materials were fully characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, ICP-OES, XPS, TEM, and pyridine adsorption. The obtained results indicated that bifunctional redox-acidic materials prepared within this work were characterized not only by different gold loading and gold particle size, but also different textural parameters and acidity. All these features were strongly affected by the procedure applied for gold deposition. The introduction of Au into Beta zeolite by ion exc
