How to modulate the surface acidity of a zeolite in a stable manner for testing in gas phase alkylation reactions? Which dopants should be used?

I want to test zeolite catalysts in alkylation reactions for linear C6-C9 alkanes using with several exchanged metals. I want to use only one zeolitic support, but modulating its acidity.

Is it correct to use the infrared bands to calculate and monitor the evolution of crystallinity of zeolite gels?

We have prepared zeolites from gels with different aging times. The cristallinity is evaluated from the relationship between the intensity of 550 cm -1 band (ZSM-5) and the intensity of the silica...

We've prepared MCM`s since 1999. There's a decrease of organization of very old calcined mesop. materials, despite of storage free of water. Why?

We have observed the decrease of organization of mesoporous materials that was stored for long periods is notorious. The calcined samples were stored free of water. Samples prepared several years...
