Abstract:
in the present study, we have prepared and evaluated the physical and
chemical properties and catalytic activities of transition metal loaded sulfated
titania via the sol-gel route. Sol-gel method is widely used for preparing porous
materials having controlled properties and leads to the formation of oxide
particles in nano range, which are spherical or interconnected to each other.
Characterization using various physico-chemical techniques and a
detailed study of acidic properties are also carried out. Some reactions of
industrial importance such as Friedel-Crafts reaction, fen-butylation of phenol,Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime, nitration of phenol and
photochemical degradation of methylene blue have been selected for catalytic
activity study in the present venture.
The work is organized into eight chapters
