| Abstract: | Vapour phase methylation of phenol is carried out over La2O3 supported vanadia systems of various composition. The structural features and physico chemical characterisation of the catalysts are investigated. Orthovanadates are formed in addition to surface vanadyl species on the metal oxide support. No V2O5 crystallites are detected. The acid base properties of the oxides are studied by Hammett indicator method and decomposition of cyclohexanol.The data are correlated with the catalytic activity and selectivity of the products. Ring alkylation is found to be predominant over these catalysts. |

| Abstract: | Physico-chemical characterization of DY203/V2O5 systems prepared through wet impregnation method has been carried out using various techniques like EDX, XRD, FTIR. thermal studies, BET surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution analysis. The amount of vanadia incorporated has been found to influence the surface properties of dysprosia. The spectroscopic results combining with X-ray analysis reveal that vanadia species exist predominantly as isolated amorphous vanadyl units along with crystalline dysprosium orthovanadate. Basicity studies have been conducted by adsorption of electron acceptors and acidity and acid strength distribution by temperature programmed desorption of ammonia. Cyclohexanol decomposition has been employed as a chemical probe reaction to examine the effect of vanadia on the acid base property of Dy2O3. Incorporation of vanadia titrates thc Lewis acid and base sites of Dy2O3, while an enhancement of Bronsted acid sites has been noticed. Data have been correlated with the catalytic activity of these oxides towards the vapour phase methylation of phenol |

| Abstract: | A series of supported vanadia systems have been prepared by excess solvent technique using La203 and DY203 as supports. Physical characterization has been carried out using XRD, FTIR, TG studies, BET surface area measurement, pore volume analysis etc. Cyclohexanol decomposition has been used as a test reaction for evaluating the acid base properties of the supported system. The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene has been employed as a chemical probe reaction to examine the catalytic activity. The active species correspond to amorphous and crystalline tetrahedral vanadyl units in the supported system. |

| Abstract: | Sm2O3 - vanadia catalysts have been prepared by wet impregnation method using NH4VO3 solution. The surface properties of the prepared catalysts have been studied using FTIR. XRD. surface area and pore volume data. The acid-base properties of the system have been investigated by titrimetric method using Hammett indicators. adsorption of electron acceptors as well as decomposition of cyclohexanol. Phenol alkylation reaction by methanol has been carried out to investigate the catalytic activity. It has been observed that the selectivity of the products depends upon the composition of the supported system |
