In this study, new types of SO4 2-/TiO2-HBeta (ST/Hβ) catalysts are synthesized and characterized by XRD, IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, ICP-OES, SEM, and NH3-TPD methods. Conversion of 1-methylnaphthalene is carried out in a fixed-bed system. Based on the study's results, the catalysts ST/Hβ showed uniform SO4 2-/TiO2 (ST) loading, high surface area, and sufficient mild acid sites. When ST content increased, the amount of strong acid sites and by-products decreased. Under atmospheric pressure, catalyst 15-ST/Hβ showed a catalytic performance of 74.1 % conversion and 97.4 % selectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
