Preparation of ZrO2/Al2O3-montmorillonite composite as catalyst for phenol hydroxylation

Zirconium dispersed in aluminum-pillared montmorillonite was prepared as a catalyst for phenol hydroxylation. The effects of varying the Zr content on the catalyst’s physicochemical character and activity were studied with XRD, BET surface area analysis, surface acidity measurements and scanning el...
