Abstract
Abstract Cobalt catalyst supported on the perovskite-type oxide sodium tantalate, NaTaO3 (NTO) was prepared by using the hydrothermal method and used in liquid-phase p-xylene oxidation, which led to p-methyl benzyl alcohol, p-tolualdehyde, and p-toluic acid. Investigation showed that the formation of alcohol and aldehyde was a competitive reaction. Further oxidation of the alcohol did not occur. On the other hand, the oxidation of p-tolualdehyde led to the formation of acid. Co-NTO catalyst showed higher selectivity toward the route of p-tolualdehyde than the p-methylbenzyl alcohol compared with the bulk Co3O4.
