Promotional effect of iron on the activity of TiO2 in the production of adipic acid
OPEN ACCESS
Designing a new process for the synthesis of adipic acid using green conditions is important to achieve its sustainable development. In this paper, we present a synthesis of adipic acid in one step under a green and mild reaction conditions. The oxidation of cyclohexene to adipic acid using molecular oxygen as oxidant was carried out over different heterogeneous X%Fe2O3/TiO2 catalysts. The catalysts exhibited good conversion (32.5%) and high product (Adipic Acid) selectivity (91.4%). The catalysts were characterized by ICP AES analysis, N2 adsorption–desorption Isotherm (BET), FT-IR, DR/UV–Vis and DRX techniques. A comparison between the effect of the preparation method; impregnation in this work and sol gel method in previous work of the catalyst is discussed
