Liquid Phase Oxidation via Heterogeneous Catalysis (ePub)

Sets the stage for environmentally friendly industrial
organic syntheses

From basic principles to new and emerging industrial
applications, this book offers comprehensive coverage of
heterogeneous liquid-phase selective oxidation catalysis. It fully
examines the synthesis, characterization, and application of
catalytic materials for environmentally friendly organic syntheses.
Readers will find coverage of all the important classes of
catalysts, with an emphasis on their stability and reusability.

Liquid Phase Oxidation via Heterogeneous Catalysis
features contributions from an international team of leading
chemists representing both industry and academia. The book begins
with a chapter on environmentally benign oxidants and then
covers:

* Selective oxidations catalyzed by TS-1 and other
metal-substituted zeolites

* Selective catalytic oxidation over ordered nanoporous
metallo-aluminophosphates

* Selective oxidations catalyzed by mesoporous
metal-silicates

* Liquid phase oxidation of organic compounds by supported
metal-based catalysts

* Selective liquid phase oxidations in the presence of supported
polyoxometalates

* Selective oxidations catalyzed by supported metal
complexes

* Liquid phase oxidation of organic compounds by metal-organic
frameworks

* Heterogeneous photocatalysis for selective oxidations with
molecular oxygen

All the chapters dedicated to specific types of catalysts follow
a similar organization and structure, making it easy to compare the
advantages and disadvantages of different catalysts. The final
chapter examines the latest industrial applications, such as the
production of catechol and hydroquinone, cyclohexanone oxime, and
propylene oxide.

With its unique focus on liquid phase heterogeneous oxidation
catalysis, this book enables researchers in organic synthesis and
oxidation catalysis to explore and develop promising new catalytic
materials and synthetic routes for a broad range of industrial
applications.
