The adsorption behavior of sodium bisulfate on silica gel was studied. The adsorption isothem of sodium hydrogen sulfate on silica gel were measured in the temperature range of 298.15 ~ 328.15 K, and the Langmuir model and the Dubini-Radushkevich (D-R) model were used to fit the experimental isotherm data. The average characteristic concentration (Ce') of NaHSO4 was determined at different temperatures to distinguish chemisorption from physisorption. The values of the mean free energy (E) calculated from the D−R isotherm equation indicated that the adsorption of NaHSO4 on silica gel occurs by sequential chemical and physical mechanisms.

This synthesis of imines has been carried out efficiently by the condensation of carbonyl compounds with amines in the presence of silica gel supported sodium hydrogen sulfate (NaHSO4.SiO2) as a heterogeneous catalyst under microwave irradiation in solvent-free conditions. NaHSO4.SiO2 can be recovered and re-used up to ten times by simple washing with diethyl ether after each use and activated in an oven at 120 °C for 1 h, thus rendering the process more economical.
