Abstract
Coprecipitated SiO2-Al2O3 (Al2O3=33.2 mol%) and Li2O-impregnated SiO2-Al2O3 containing 1, 2.5 and 5 mol% Li2O were prepared. The textural properties were determined by following the adsorption of nitrogen at 77K. The surface acidities were determined from pyridine adsorption at 423 K. The catalytic conversion of isopropanol on the catalyst prepared was carried out using the pulse microcatalytic technique.
The surface area decreased and the pore size increased upon irradiation with γ-rays (dose⩾ 30 M rad). The acidity decreased upon impregnation with Li2O and/or irradiation with γ-rays.
