Abstract
The nature of different acid sites on the surface of various niobium-based
catalysts has been spectroscopically investigated by means of FT-IR and UV-
VIS techniques. Surface acidity has been further characterized by acetonitr
ile adsorption and subsequent FT-IR analysis. The catalytic activity of the
different examined samples has been preliminarily tested in the fructose d
ehydration to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde, a reaction of relevant industr
ial interest. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
