and CHCl adsorption FT-IR spectroscopy indicated that the
various titanates have different base amounts and strength.
Based on the dependence of the glucose isomerization on the
base properties, we propose that both base amount and
strength of solid base catalysts (e.g., the titanates) contribute to
the efficiency of the glucose isomerization process. The results
would be useful towards developing solid base catalysts for
glucose isomerization.

Catalyst preparation. Alkaline and alkaline earth titanates, SrTiO
BaTiO , CaTiO , Na Ti Ti 13, and Sr Ti were prepared by a
solid state reaction. The respective alkaline carbonates (Kishida
Chemical Co., Ltd.) and TiO (JRC-TIO-8 procured from Catalysis
Society of Japan, anatase phase) as precursors were homogeneously
mixed using a ball mill in the composition ratio of each titanate, and
calcined at 1000 °C under air for 10 h. The resulting powders were
washed with hot water, and dried at 80 °C.
