The effect of modification ?-FeOOH with niobium, applied to dehydration reaction xylose, was evaluated by experimental and theoretical methods. data confirmed, namely the characteristic peaks in X-ray diffractometer analysis, that materials were obtained. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis defined percentage Nb as 0 for pure 9.5 wt. % (?-FeOOH/Nb) doped. In relation obtaining...
