Catalyzed Oxidation of Cyclohexane over Co-Bi2(MoO4)3 Catalysts
The effect of catalyst on the performance of liquid-phase selective oxidation of cyclohexane as probe reaction over Co-Bi2(MoO4)3 prepared by precipitation method was investigated. The catalyst evaluation results show that the optimum catalyst atomic ratio is n(Mo):n(Bi):n(Co)=1.5:1:0.2 with high selecivity under certain conversion. Meanwhile selective oxidation of Bi2(MoO4)3 was slowed down, selecivity of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol reached 74.1%, 22.2% respectively.The main composition of the catalyst is Bi2(MoO4)3. Co-Bi2(MoO4)3 had new catalyst sites with Bi3+, Mo6+ and Co2+ having a cooperative effects during oxidation of cyclohexane. Under this condition, selecivity of cyclohexanone improved greatly. Micro-structure and essence disciplinarian of Co-Bi2(MoO4)3 were disclosed by XRD and FTIR. This study could provide experimental data for the technical reform of industry equipment.
