Abstract
The investigation of the formation of free radicals in the process of propylene total oxidation over supported oxide catalysts demonstrates the decrease of their efficiency in the formation of free radicals in the following order: CoO-MgO > CoO-SiO2 > MgO > MoO(x)-Al2O3 > CoO/Al2 O3. At a low pressure, the consumption of the reactants is not caused by gas reactions of the radicals generated by the catalyst. The predom inant process of the disappearance of the radicals is capture by the s urface, with the formation of chemisorbed species. Their reactions on the surface lead to the final total oxidation products.
