HMOR zeolites has an excellent performance similar to enzyme catalysis in the carbonylation of dimethyl ether (DME). The distribution of framework aluminum and the identification of the active site of the reaction are the key issues in the study of the reaction mechanism. The early work was based on theoretical calculation to study the active site of DME carbonylation, but lacked direct experimental evidence. In this work, a series of HMOR catalysts were prepared by calcination of NH4MOR at various temperatures. The stability and location of framework aluminum were studied by a variety of spectroscopic characterization methods. Moreover, the evidence of reaction mechanism was obtained by the carbonylation reaction activity of dimethyl ether related to the acidity of MOR zeolite and aluminum distribution. Firstly, it was found that the crystallinity and morphology of MOR zeolites did not change significantly after calcination at different temperatures by XRD (X-Ray diffraction) and SEM (Scanning electron microscope). However, it was found by 29Si, 27Al and 1H Magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) that the local environment of HMORs was dealuminated, which resulted in obvious defect hydroxyl groups and the decrease of Brönsted acid sites (BASs) content. In addition, the calcination temperature has a great influence on the stability of framework Al of HMORs. Increase of calcination temperature will accelerate the occurrence of dealumination. Quantitative 1H MAS NMR combined with Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) provided the distribution of BASs content in different channels of HMOR zeolites. By using 2D 27Al multiple quantum (MQ) MAS NMR method combined with the representative slices parallel to the F2 dimension of MQMAS NMR spectra at selected F1 chemical shift to distinguish the framework Al sites, it was found that when the temperature was lower than 600 ℃, framework Al atoms located in the different T-sites had the similar dealumination rate. But when the calcination temperature was increased to 600 ℃, the removal rate of Al atom at T3 site was accelerated. Furthermore, the relationship between the carbonylation performance of dimethyl ether and the distribution of Brønsted acid and aluminum was studied, and the definitive spectral evidence of the carbonylation activity center was obtained, that is, the Al site at T3-O33 was the active site of the carbonylation reaction.
