Abstract

In this paper benzene hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide (H202) in the presence of the titan silicates-zeolites was studied. The initial catalyst, HZSM-5 zeolite type was treated to obtain both cobalt- and titan-silicates- zeolite. These improved catalysts were also used far oxidation. To obtain reaction temperature heating was made by conventional techniques and by microwave treatment. From this research it was concluded that reaction temperature is a very important parameter to keep a proper equilibrium between the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide and the oxidation rate of aromatic compound. It was also so found that microwaves affect the reaction selectivity.
