The porous structure and surface acid-base properties of sulfated zirconia, alumina and alumina-zirconia applied in isobutylene alkylation were characterized using a variety of physico-chemical methods. Catalytic activity was related to catalyst physico-chemical properties. Graphical Abstract + sulfated zirconia Fuel components
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.
