Solid Acids from Persulphated and Perchlorated Physical Mixtures of Zirconium and Titanium Hydroxides by Gamal M.S. El Shafei, Christine A. Philip

“…Calcination at 650°C of a physical mixture of zirconium and titanium hydroxides led to the formation of the corresponding oxides, monoclinic zirconia and anatase. The adsorption of perchlorate or persulphate anions (as 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 M aqueous solutions) before calcination did not inhibit crystallization; however, perchlorate anions activated the formation of rutile in addition to the predominant anatase phase. …”
