Abstract
The electron donating properties, surface acidity/basicity and catalytic ac tivity of cerium - zirconium mixed oxides at various compositions have been reported at an activation temperature of 500 degrees C. The catalytic acti vity for the esterification of acetic acid with n-butanol has been correlat ed with electron donating properties and surface acidity/basicity of the ox ides.
