Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexane over ZSM-5 Catalyst in N-alkyl-N-methylimidazolium Ionic Liquids
Heterogeneous oxidation of cyclohexane by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) was carried out over ZSM-5 catalysts with different Si/Al ratios in ionic liquids and organic molecular solvents. Higher yield and selec-tivity of the desired products were found in ionic liquids than in molecular solvents. Th...

Summary: | Heterogeneous oxidation of cyclohexane by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) was carried out over ZSM-5 catalysts with different Si/Al ratios in ionic liquids and organic molecular solvents. Higher yield and selec-tivity of the desired products were found in ionic liquids than in molecular solvents. The conversion of cyclohexane exhibits a decrease from 15.8% to 10.8% with the increase of Si/Al ratio of the HZSM-5 catalyst, and all the cata-lysts exhibit good selectivity of monofunctional oxidation products at around 97%. The activity of catalyst is found strongly dependent on the alkyl chain length of ionic liquid. |
