 Abstract     

The   samples   of   ulra-stable   high-silica   H-STI-I   and   H-STI-Ⅱ   zeolites  were  prepared  using  the method    of    ion-exchange    combined     with    controlled    calcinations.Characterizations    with   EDX,29si    MAS NMR,27Al  MAS  NMR  and  FT-IR  indicate  that  the  framework  Si/Al  ratios  of H-STI-I and H-STI-IⅡ are 4.43 and    10.62,respectively.Investigations    of   the    samples    obtained    in    the    processs    of    stage-temperature-pro- grammed  calcinations  with  XRD  proved  that  the  structure  stability  of  both   samples  could  be  kept  at  tem-

perature  up  to  1000  ℃.Type  I  isotherms  of  N₂adsorption  at  77  K  illminated  that  the  ultra-stable  H-STI

samples  possessed  perfect  channel  systems  with  opening  micro-pore  structures.The  more  structural  defects

in  the  framework  of  H-STI-II,which  has  been  treated  with   acid  in  the  process  of  preparation,led  to  worse thermal  stability,lower  surface  area  and  pore  volume   than  those   of  H-STI-I.
