Abstract

The article describes an impact of metal-containing compounds - carbon nanofiber of platelet type, ferrocene and naphthenate Co on the aerobic oxidation of ethylbenzene. It has been established that all types of the added compounds reveal significant catalytic activity in the oxidation of ethylbenzene and may be ordered as: ferrocene > naphthenate Co ≥ carbon nanofiber. The authors guess that the results obtained are helpful to design new catalytic oxidation process profile of diesel fraction rich by aromatics.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The processes of liquid-phase aerobic oxidation of hydrocarbons have a great importance for the materials science and engineering. The present paper describes kinetic aspects of oxidation of ethylbenzene in the presence of carbon nanofiber of a platelet type (CNF-PL), ferrocene and naphthenate Co. The choice of catalysts was stimulated by the comprehensive searching of a new simple catalyst to provide the oxidation of oil aromatic hydrocarbons in a medium which is free of acidic components. “Cobalt naphthenate is commonly used in various catalytic systems for organic synthesis These coordination complexes are widely used as oil drying agents to afford the autoxidative crosslinking. On the other side the diesel aerobic oxidation designed reasonably can afford many industrially valuable oxygen containing compounds. This goal requires a suitable catalytic system. The diesel fraction oxidation matter and ways of its realization is of considerable importance for petrochemistry and oil refining
