Abstract: The crystallization, phase transition, dehydration and desulfuration of amorphous TiO2 and Fe2O3 impregnated with H2SO4 during calcination were studied by using XRD, TG-DTG, SEMand chemical analysis methods.Comparing the experimental results with that of SO42-/ZrO2, it was concluded that the regularity of formation of all types of SO42-/MxOy superacids is similar.The superacidity of the SO42-/TiO2 and/Fe2O3 sampleswas charac terized by IRspectroscopy and n-pentane isomerization reaction at ambient temperature.Their acid site structure is the same as that of SO42-/ZrO2.For the dehydrated samples the main acid sites are Lewis type acid sites, which may be transformed into Bronsted type acid sites when the samples are partially hydrated.The superacidity of SO42-/TiO2 and SO42-/Fe2O3 is weaker than that of SO42-/ZrO2, their acid strength H0 is estimated in the range of -13─ -14.
