We have investigated the changes in surface acidity/basicity
and catalytic pro~erties of samarium oxide due to surface modification
by SO42- ion. The acidity/basicity of the catalysts is
determined by titration method using Hammett indicators.
Esterification of acetic acid by n-butanol is chosen as a test
reaction. Sm203, owing to its high basicity and low acidity, does
not catalyze the reaction. But sulphated Sm20J catalyzes the
esterification reaction effectively. Activation temperature does
not have much effect on the acidity of sulphated samaria. |
