Iv. Desyatov et al., REACTION OF TETRAHYDROFURAN WITH H2S IN THE PRESENCE OF NA+ GAMMA-AL2O3/, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 51(1), 1993, pp. 45-50
Modification of gamma-Al2O3 by sodium hydroxide promotes the increase
of surface basicity but does not exert a strong effect on catalytic ac
tivity in the reaction of thiolane production from tetrahydrofuran and
H2S. Introduction of NaOH to gamma-Al2O3 in small concentration incre
ases the number of Lewis acid centers but decreases their strength. Th
e activity of Na/gamma-Al2O3 referred to one Lewis acid center drops.
