C. Moreno-castilla et al., Decomposition reactions of methanol and ethanol catalyzed by tungsten oxide supported on activated carbon, REACT KIN C, 71(1), 2000, pp. 137-142
Activity of the catalysts to obtain the dehydration products linearly incre
ases with their total surface acidity. Results obtained seem to point out t
hat the surface basicity of the support influences the acid strength of the
tungsten oxide particles, especially at low tungsten loading.
