Popis: The effect of SO2 chemisorption at 623 K on various metal oxides (CeO2, MgO, Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2 anatase and rutile) has been studied by IR spectroscopy and catalytic tests: cumene cracking and isopropanol decomposition, IR spectroscopic studies of lutidine and pyridine adsorbed on SO2 treated metal oxides surfaces show the increase or the creation of Bronsted acidity. Test reactions evidence that the strength of such sites depends on the metal oxide, being very weak on MgO and important on TiO2. Formation of hydrogensulfite species or modification of the redox character of surface properties explains the SO2 chemisorption effects.
