Abstract:Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation method and supported on activated carbon. The catalyst thus obtained was characterized by various physicochemical techniques, and used for the liquid phase dehydrogenation/oxidation of octanol in a batch reactor at various temperatures in the range 30˚C-60˚C. Maximum conversion of octanol to octanal was attained at 60˚C in 30 min. However, with longer reaction time, the selectivity of the catalyst was found to change in favor of octene as a product.
