Abstract

A series of cobalt-iron mixed oxides, Co_xFe_3−xO₄ (x = 0; 0.05; 0.1; 0.15), were synthesized by coprecipitation and tested for oxidative decarboxylation of malic acid to pyruvic or malonic acid. The characterization of catalysts was performed by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFT) and Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis). Among studied catalysts, Co_0.15Fe_2.85O₄ sample (denoted Co₃Fe) showed the highest malic acid conversion in oxidative decarboxylation reaction as well as the highest pyruvic acid yield. This behavior can be due to the fact that this sample has the highest content of tetrahedral Co²⁺ that replaces Fe³⁺ from octahedral position that determine an increased number of defects that play a crucial role for the malic acid conversion.
