ABSTRACT

Calculation of the surface areas and the acid strength of NiSO, CuSO, and CoSO,.H₂O and the use of these catalysts on dehydration of some alcahols In this study; the surfaces of the catalysts were examined by electron microscope and their surface areas were calculated with gas adsorption method as a unit of m²g¹. In addition, the acid strength on solid catalysts (NiSO, CuSO, CoSO.H,O) was determined by Hammett indicator adsorption method and also, dehydration reactions of 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanol, 3,7-dimethyl-3-octanol and 2-octanol were investigated with the same catalysts
