“…Such phosphates have attracted researchers' attention in studies of catalytic processes of acid-base (isomerization and dehydra tion) and redox (selective oxidation and dehydrogena tion) conversion of hydrocarbons and alcohols [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In particular, conversion reactions of С 1 -С 4 ali phatic alcohols have been investigated not only for framework zirconium and thorium phosphates of group I and II metals [12][13][14][15][16] but also for materials containing transition metals (Cu, Fe, Mo, or Ni) in the channels of the NASICON structure or in those of a given structure [17][18][19]. Changes in the qualitative and quantitative compositions of the framework phos phates led to changes in their catalytic activity and selectivity for alcohol conversion (relationship between dehydration and dehydrogenation products), primarily because of changes in the acidity, specific surface area, and particle size of the catalysts.…”
