Abstract
Vapor-oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde was studied using catalysti s based on phosphorus and a transition element connected to their base acid properties. The surface acidity of these solids was determined u sing the decomposition reaction of isopropylic alcohol and of cumene c racking. According to the results, low superficial acidity is required to obtain partial oxidation products. The best results are obtained w ith P-Cu, for wich propylene formation rate is the lowest.
