Abstract Liquid-phase oxidation of
toluene, p-xylene and p-t-butyl toluene in the presence
of catalyst (Co and Mn acetates), initiators (KBr, methyl ethyl ketone) and
solvent (acetic acid) was studied. An effort was made to obtain or high
oxidation rates at temperature between 90 and 100oC and at
atmospheric pressure using microwave heating. A modified multimode cavity was
used. The reaction vessel was made of Teflon (microwave transparent,
chemically inert) and was equipped with a stirrer, temperature control, a
reflex condenser and a system for continuously bubbling of air. Key Words: Liquid-phase oxidation,
alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons, microwave effect |
