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 |
