Abstract
AbstractThe heterogeneously‐catalysed oxidation of hydrocarbons over oxide catalysts is reviewed. The first section of the paper deals in a general way with the structural features of hydrocarbons and relates these to the selective oxidation products which may be obtained from them. The interaction of oxygen and hydrocarbons with oxides is also considered in a general context and the kinetics of heterogeneous oxidation of hydrocarbons are discussed. The second section of the paper deals in more detail with the selective oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons with particular reference to vanadium oxide containing catalysts. Finally, an account is given of the selective oxidation of monoalkenes to 1,3 conjugated systems and ketones over mixed oxide catalysts. The information available is considered throughout with a view to revealing those features of such systems which give rise to the selectivity.
