Abstract
Selective oxidation of ethane to acetaldehyde on a boron phosphate dop ed by magnesium or zinc oxides was considered using a semiempirical qu antum chemical MINDO/3 method. Catalytic activity of boron phosphate i s shown to enhance when the catalyst contains small amounts of MgO or ZnO. On the basis of calculated results a possible mechanism of this p rocess is proposed.
