Effects of silylation on surface properties and catalytic performance of Zn-IM5 for butane aromatization were studied in this paper. Collidine-IR and NH3-TPD analyses revealed that the silylation treatment not only decreased the quantity of both strong and weak acid sites but also led to a slightly reduced intensity of weak acidity. Silylation of the catalyst promoted the selectivity of BTX by narrowing the channel and cutting the acidity. The effect of temperature of silylation and amount of Si loading were evaluated. The best condition has specified a temperature of 50 ℃ and a SiO_2 loading of 4.0%.
