A novel Ce/AlPO-5 catalyst for solvent-free liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexane by oxygen

Abstract

Cerium-containing AlPO-5 with an AFI structure has been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis in the presence of HF, and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, N2 adsorption/desorption, solid state 27Al, 31P MAS NMR and TG-DTA techniques. The results show that all the samples have good crystallinity, high dispersity of Ce and high surface area, and Ce(III) replaces the position of Al(III) and enters the framework of AlPO-5. Ce/AlPO-5 is a very efficient catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexane in a solvent-free system with oxygen as an oxidant. In the condition of 0.5 MPa O2 and 413 K for 4 h, the conversion of cyclohexane is 13%, the total selectivity of cyclohexanol and cyclohaxnone is above 92%. In addition, the Ce/AlPO-5 catalyst is very stable in the cyclohexane oxidation system.
