Mel'nyk Y. Liquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexane in the presence of complex catalysts

The influences of structure crown-ethers or polyglycols on the oxidation process of cyclohexane have been investigated. The influence of catalytic system consisting of cobalt stearate - crown-ether upon degenerative branching stage was investigated. Such types of catalytic systems permit to increase the cyclohexane oxidation process productivity upon targeted products at the expense of hydrocarbon conversion growing and also selectivity of process increasing. The catalytic systems, namely cobalt naphtenate - dibenzo-18-crown-6 and cobalt naphtenate - polypropylenglycol have been proposed.
