Abstract: The effect of B2O3 and Fe2O3 on the surface acidity and propylene etherificationwith isopropanol to isopropyl ether has been investigated by XRD, XPS,NH3-TPD, FT-IR and chemisorption.These impregnated oxides played a great role in modifying the total surface acid amount and distribution of acid strength.The stronger interaction between oxidesand Hβ-Al2O3 enhanced the L acid amount.Meanwhile,the performance of propylene etheri-fication was obviously improved.A good relationship between propylene conversion and surface L acid amount was detected.

Key words: oxide, Hβ-zeolite, propylene etherification, surface acidity
