Abstract
Adsorption of formic acid on Ca(OH)2 calcined at increasing temperatures has been monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy. Adsorption takes places dissociatively, forming bidentate formate species, coordinated to surface Ca2+ ions. The basicity decreases as the outgassing temperature increases, due to removal of surface hydroxy groups.
