Abstract
This study has aimed to secure an optimum means for the preparation of an alumina-boria catalyst by a systematic examination of the relationship between the physical characteristics of the catalyst and its activity, and to clarify the mechanism of the development of activity on the basis of the experimental evidence about the chemical interaction of alumina with boric acid and about the chemical structure of the catalyst. The applicability of the catalyst has been studied kinetically for some specific reactions relating to the transalkylation of aromatic compounds. It has been found that alumina-boria shows a higher activity for these reactions than does silica-alumina.Keywords
