Cp. Wei et al., CATALYTIC-OXIDATION OF ALPHA-EICOSANOL TO ALPHA-EICOSANOIC ACID OVER MCM-48 MOLECULAR-SIEVES CONTAINING TRANSITION-METAL, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 19(7), 1998, pp. 1154-1156
A series of MCM-48 mesoporous molecular sieves containing copper, zirc
onium, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and iron were prepared
by hydrothermal crystallization and characterized by IR, Py-IR and XRD
. The series of molecular sieves were used to perform the catalytic ox
idation of a-long chain eicosanol to the corresponding alpha-eicosanoi
c acid. The results monitored by IR technique were consistent with tho
se of chemical analysis.
