Abstract

Acid properties of the oxides Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, SnO2, Sb2O3, ZrO2 and ZrSiO4 were modified by the action of Lewis acids. The acids ( AlCl3, TiCl4, PCl5, SbF5 and P2O5) were deposited on the oxides by sublimation at 150, 250 and 350°C. The strength and number of acid centres of the prepared catalysts and their catalytic activity in hydrocarbon reactions were determined.
