Although many solid-acid catalysts have been reported for the vapor-phase Beckmann rearrangement [2], their performance has been less than satisfactory from an industrial standpoint and the heterogeneously catalyzed Beckmann rearrangement has not yet been commercialized. In this chapter heterogeneous catalysis of the Beckmann rearrangement, its mechanism, and acid properties and reaction conditions suitable for the reaction will be reviewed. 

The use of HPAs and multicomponenf polyoxometalates as catalysts in liquid-phase reactions was reviewed by Kozhevnikov. Moreover, an interesting minireview was published concerning the Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes and the Fries rearrangement catalyzed by HPA-based solid acids. The results show that HPA-based solid acids, including bulk and supported heteropoly acids as well as heteropoly acid salts, are efficient and environmentally friendly catalysis for all reacfions analyzed. 

There are many different kinds of catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts are solid materials, usually with a high specific surface area. The heterogeneous catalysts that are used in various industrial processes have specific surface areas that range from about 10 to 1000 m /g. One or more fluid phases are in contact with the solid catalyst. Reactant molecules in the fluid phase adsorb on the surface of the solid catalyst, rearrange or react with another adsorbed molecule, and then the product(s) desorb back into the fluid(s). Chapter 9 treats the subject of heterogeneous catalysis in much greater detail.
