Abstract: Compared with commercial SnO2, nanosized SnO2 is more stable and can reach maximum catalytic activity for low catalyst dosage. Under the same conditions, the optimum dosage of nanosized SnO2 calcined at 500 oC was 0.1 g, whereas the dosage of commercial SnO2 was 0.5 g.

Key words: benzene, nitration, nitrobenzene, nanosized stannic oxide
