The role of incorporated divalent metal (Mn, Mg, Co and Zn) incorporated in
to the framework of AlPO4-5 in conversion of cyclohexanol has been examined
. The influence of these metals to cyclohexene and cyclohexanone selectivit
ies was correlated to the acidity and basicity properties of these molecula
r sieves. Possible mechanism for the dehydration and dehydrogenation for cy
clohexanol was proposed.
