Aromatization of n-hexane over zinc-modified ZSM-5 zeolites was investigated. It was shown that incorporation of zinc by ion exchange into cationic positions of NH4-ZSM-5 zeolite causes acid-site strength redistribution and generation of new relatively strong Lewis acid sites in zeolite increasing the selectivity of n-hexane aromatization in comparison with the parent NH4-ZSM-5 zeolite. Simultaneous presence of Lewis and Broensted acid sites in ZSM-5 zeolite does not affect the strength of Broensted acid sites in zeolite. For the activity/selectivity of aromatization of n-hexane on Zn-modified ZSM-5 zeolites, the amount of Zn and its localization in the cationic positions are decisive. The reaction of n-hexane can be also initiated by the Zn species alone in the cationic positions. ZnO species alone as an extraframework phase was found inactive in the catalyst for aromatization of n-hexane. The influence of ZnO addition on the performance of pure ammonium forms of ZSM-5 zeolites in n-hexane conversion is a result of partial migration of zinc into cationic positions of zeolite by solid-state ion exchange.

The use of solids acids in the synthesis of ethers suitable to be used as fuels or fuel additives were reviewed in a critical way. In particular, the role of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites was highlighted to focus on the pivotal role of the acidity nature on the product distribution. Particular emphasis is given to the recently proposed ethers prepared starting from furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural. Thus, they are very promising products that can be derived from lignocellulosic biomass and bioalcohols and possess very interesting chemical and physical properties for their use in the diesel sector.
