Abstract

In this work, we produced phenol directly from benzene using silicates modified with Al and Fe. The preparation of Al and Fe-silicates was done at 373 K by mixing a silicate solution with Al and Fe sources and the resulting material were dried at 373 K overnight and calcined at 823 K. The calcined materials were characterized using XRD, IR, SEEM and SBET. The oxidative properties of resulting solids (Al and Fe-silicates) were tested in the catalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol at different temperatures. The oxidation processes were followed up using HPLC and UV-Vis Spectrophotometry.
