Catalytic Reactions of 1-Butanol over AlPO Catalysts Induced by BO
A series of AlPO 4 –B 2 O 3 samples containing 5–50 wt% B 2 O 3 were prepared. Their textural properties were determined from studies of the adsorption of nitrogen at −196°C. The structural characteristics were investigated using DTA, TG, XRD and FT-IR methods. Surface acidity was determined from th...

| Summary: | A series of AlPO 4 –B 2 O 3 samples containing 5–50 wt% B 2 O 3 were prepared. Their textural properties were determined from studies of the adsorption of nitrogen at −196°C. The structural characteristics were investigated using DTA, TG, XRD and FT-IR methods. Surface acidity was determined from the adsorption of n-butylamine in non-aqueous media. The vapour-phase catalytic conversion of 1-butanol over the prepared catalysts was followed using a micro-catalytic pulse technique. The incorporation of B 2 O 3 into AlPO 4 , as well as the calcination temperatures employed, led to significant changes in the textural parameters and crystallinity of the catalysts and in their surface acidity. The dehydration of 1-butanol to 1-butene and dibutyl ether (DBE) was strongly influenced by the surface acidity and the boron content of the samples. |
