A zeolite dealumination mechanism is proposed on the basis of sensitivity-enhanced 27Al DQ-MAS NMR spectra (see picture), which revealed for the first time the detailed evolution of extra-framework aluminum (EFAL) species and the spatial proximities of various aluminum species in dealuminated HY zeolites. Three types of EFAL species in close proximity to framework aluminum were identified.
