Abstract
Effect of post-calcination thermal treatment on acid properties and pores structure of a mesoporous niobium–tungsten oxide was examined. Mesoporous Nb–W oxides treated by high temperature calcination from 673 up to 873K exhibited a significant increase in pore size from 4.8 to 9.2nm, a decrease in pore volume, surface area and acid amount, while the acid strength and density remained almost constant. A remarkable improvement in acid catalysis was observed for Friedel–Crafts alkylation and hydrolysis of disaccharide where the turnover frequency for both reactions increased continuously with calcination temperature.
