Abstract
In this study, a carbon supported platinum catalyst (5.4 wt.-% Pt/C) w as found to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the liquid phas e oxidation of cyclohexanol into adipic acid, The reaction was perform ed in water, with air as the oxidizing agent, under moderate temperatu re (423 K) and pressure (5 MPa air). This catalytic system achieved to tal conversion of the cyclohexanol and selectivities of ca. 50% in adi pic acid. The main by-products were glutaric and succinic acids.
