Abstract

The synthesis of adipic acid through the oxidation of a cyclohexanone–cyclohexanol mixture was investigated using 30% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as the oxidizing agent and a B₂O₃–SiO₂ catalyst synthesized via heat treatment at various temperatures. This study aimed to evaluate the catalytic performance of B₂O₃–SiO₂ in facilitating the oxidation reaction and to determine the optimum reaction conditions for achieving the maximum yield of adipic acid. The effects of reaction time and temperature on the oxidation process were systematically studied. The reactions were conducted for 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours at temperatures of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. The reaction products were analyzed using Gas Chromatography (GC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that the B₂O₃–SiO₂ catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic activity at 90°C, producing adipic acid with a maximum yield of 2.36% after 7 hours of reaction. Based on FT-IR characterization, it was observed that the B₂O₃–SiO₂ catalyst became unstable after the reaction, as indicated by the reduction of Brønsted acid sites. This decrease in acidity led to a less effective catalytic performance, resulting in a suboptimal oxidation process and a relatively low yield of adipic acid.

Abstract

The desulfurization of oil must be resolved as soon as possible due to a variety of issues, including environmental contamination and protection regulations. It was believed that oxidative desulfurization (ODS) was the most promising method. In this research, metal oxide-based layered double hydroxides (TiO2@Ni-Al and ZnO@Ni-Al) were effectively synthesized for the ODS of 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT). TiO2@Ni-Al and ZnO@Ni-Al exhibited superior catalytic performance and high recycling capacity, achieving a 99% removal rate after five reactions in 30 min. The heterogeneous catalyst TiO2@Ni-Al/ZnO@Ni-Al is easy to separate and recover from a reaction system. Increased temperature facilitates the transformation of 4-MDBT into 4-MDBTO2. The influence of H2O2's rapid decomposition rate, which can inhibit oxidation reactions, reduces the catalytic activity as the temperature increases. 4-MDBT Sulphur removal on TiO2@Ni-Al and ZnO@Ni-Al is 99.48 and 99.51%, respectively. TiO2@Ni-Al and ZnO@Ni-Al have great potential for use in the industry based on these results. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
