Abstract

Surface acidity of a series of silica-alumina mixed oxides have been investigated by IR-spectroscopy and catalytic measurements. Pure alumina was the most active catalyst in the conversion of butan-1-ol, but the E1 part in the reaction increased with increasing SiO2 content. It was concluded that the number of acidic sites increased with increasing Al2O3 content, while the strength of the acidic sites with the silica content.
