Various dealuminum methods of zeolite Beta to generate the jet fuels by converting isobutyl alcohol has been investigated in detail. And related factors of the zeolite catalyst were studied utilizing XRD, SEM, XRF, Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, NH₃-TPD, Py-FTIR, and ²⁷Al solid-state NMR. Removal of extra-framework aluminum or part of framework aluminum by hydrochloric acid dealumination, is able to improve the diffusion property of the products in the channel of zeolite Beta via increasing the ratio of Lewis/Brønsted. Consequently, isobutyl alcohol can be quantitatively oligomerized over dealuminated zeolite Beta with the selectivity of C_8-16 exceeding 50% at a conversion of 98%.
