Gaseous cyclohexanone catalytic oxidation by a self-assembled Pt/γ-Al₂O₃catalyst: process optimization, mechanistic study, and kinetic analysis

Abstract

γ-Al2O3 nanocatalysts with a Pt loading of 0.6–1.0% were prepared successfully via a self-assembly method to be used in the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexanone in a fixed-bed reactor.

Recent progress on catalysts for catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds: a review

“…Ketones. Cheng et al 76 reported that cyclohexanone catalytic oxidation over the Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst occurred via two main pathways and determined the critical role of intermediate radicals. In the first pathway, cyclohexanone was initially transformed into cyclohexanone radicals and then into 2-cyclohexene-1ketone (for R1, R2, and R3) and C 3 -H 5 COC 2 H 5 (for R2 and R3).…”
