The catalytic behavior of Brønsted acid sites in three acidic zeolite materials containing dual meso-/micro-porosity was studied.  This similarity in kinetic behavior between materials possessing dual meso-/micro-porosity and their microporous analogues implies the catalytic behavior of Brønsted acid sites in materials with meso-/micro-porosity is preferentially dominated by the microporous environment.
