Abstract
The synthesis of titanium molybdophosphate ( TMP), lead vanadophosphate (
LVP) and lead selenophosphate (LSP) are reported. The chemical composition, IR
spectrum, hydrogen ion liberation capacity and pH titration curve for each exchanger
have been studied .
As the investigation of the catalytic nature of synthetic inorganic polymers were
the core objective of this project, catalytic application of TMP and LVP as a support
have been studied after loading Fe+ 3 on each, in dehydration of cyclohexanol and
hydration of cyclohexene . From GC analysis both Fe+3/TMP and Fe+3/LVP was found
to be efficient in dehydrating cyclohexanol but not the opposite reaction. 81 % and 38 %
conversion have been achieved for each catalyst Respectively with in four hour refluxing.
Using retention time coincidence test and peak enhancement technique the only reaction
product was identified to be cyclohexene.
