Abstract

{Benzylation of phenol with benzylalcohol was carried out in liquid phase over tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) supported on titania. The catalysts were prepared with different TPA (10-25%) loading by wet impregnation method, were calcined at 700 degrees C and characterized by XRD, surface area, FTIR and acidity of the catalysts was measured by temperature programmed desorption of NH(3)-TPD, FTIR pyridine adsorption. The catalysts have been represented by a general formula as xPTiO(2)-Y (where x = wt%
