Abstract
Zinc containing aluminophosphates (ZAPO-5 and ZAPO-11) were synthesized hydrothermally using triethylamine and dipropylamine as templates. Structures were confirmed from X-ray powder patterns and unit cell parameters were calculated by a standard least-squares refinement technique. The isomorphous substitution of zinc in the aluminophosphate framework is evidenced by the considerable increase in unit cell volume and from MAS-NMR spectra. Acidity was determined by the TPD-TGA method which shows three different strengths of acid sites. FT-IR, chemical analysis and BET surface area were also reported. The physico-chemical properties of the catalysts were correlated towards the vapour phase transformation of camphene and the results are fully discussed.
