Characteristics of acidic zirconium/titanium phosphate catalysts synthesized by sol gel methods
- Sandia National Lab., Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The layered phases of zirconium and titanium phosphates have been studied in great detail as ion exchange materials and to a lesser extent as catalytic materials. We have studied a different class of titanium and zirconium phosphate materials synthesized using sol gel techniques for use in acid catalysis. The isomerization reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentene was performed to get information on the number of strong, medium and weak acid sites on the surface as well as the deactivation rate of these sites. The catalysts were also analyzed using direct current plasma for elemental analysis; BET for surface area; x-ray diffraction for crystal phase identification; and FTIR for investigation of surface hydroxyls, sulfates and phosphates.
