Abstract
This study is concerned with the effect of various amounts of Sn speci es in modifying the surface acidic and basic properties of alumina, im portant in catalytic activity. The decomposition of isopropanol and co nversion of cumene were chosen as a measure of the changes to the acid ic/basic catalytic sites, and the adsorption of pyridine (measured by IR spectroscopy) to separate out the Bronsted and Lewis acid activity.
