Bu çalışmada kullanılan katalizörlerin yüzeyleri elektron mikroskobuyla incelendi ve yüzey alanları gaz adsorpsiyon metoduna göre $m^2g^{-1}$ cinsinden hesaplandı. Ayrıca katı asit katalizörlerde asidik kuvvet ölçümü Hammett indikatör adsorpsiyon metoduna göre tayin edildi. Bu katalizörler (NiSO4, CuSO4, CoSO4.H2O ) kullanılarak, 2,6-dimetil-4-heptanol, 3,7-dimetil-3-oktanol ve 2-oktanol'ün dehidrasyon reaksiyonları incelendi.

Calculation of the surface areas and the acid strength of NiSO4, CuSO4 and CoSO4-H2O and the use of these catalysts on dehydration of some alcahols. In this study; the surfaces of the catalysts were examined by electron microscope and their surface areas were calculated with gas adsorption method as a unit of $m^2g^{-1}$. In addition, the acid strength on solid catalysts (NiSO4, CuSO4, CoSO4.H2O) was determined by Hammett indicator adsorption method and also, dehydration reactions of 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanol, 3,7-dimethyl-3-octanol and 2-octanol were investigated with the same catalysts
