Abstract
Thermogravimetric data were used to calculate the number of acidic Brönsted sites in lamellar α-titanium (α-TiP), γ-titanium (γ-TiP), α-zirconium (α-ZrP) and γ-zirconium (γ-ZrP) hydrogenphosphates. The numbers of acidic sites calculated for these lamellar compounds were 7.81, 5.67, 6.33 and 5.56 for α-TiP, γ-TiP, α-ZrP and γ-ZrP, respectively. These values are in good agreement with those found through potentiometric titration. The data obtained prove that thermogravimetric measurements can be used as a reliable analytical tool to follow the ion-exchange capacity of this kind of crystalline lamellar compounds.
