Alkaline earth silicates having both acidic and basic sites can be considered as acid-base bifunctional catalysts. Dehydration and dehydrogenation of alcohols over these catalysts were carried out. Correlation between the selectivity and acid-base properties of alcohols and the catalysts was studied. It was found that acid-base properties of both the catalysts and the alcohols were cooperative in determining the selectivity of reaction.
