A highly efficient oxidation of cyclohexane over VPO catalysts using tert-Butyl hydroperoxide

A highly efficient oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone is accomplished overcalcined vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts in a relatively mild condition using tert-Butyl hydroperoxideunder a atmosphere condition. This heterogeneous catalyst at the end of the reaction is easily separated by the least costof the product. This reaction is investigated in a polar and nonpolar solvent with different dielectric constant. Aftercatalytic tests and determining the best catalyst ,detection and analysis will be done by analyzing XRD, SEM, TGA, IR,.... The activity and selectivity of vanadium phosphate (VPO) catalysts on the mesoporous KIT-6 support for greenoxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol were studied using H2O2.
