	abstract = {<p>Liquid phase oxidation of p-cresol was carried out over a Co-saponite catalyst in a temperature and pressure range of 333-393 K and 20-827 kPa, respectively in n-propanol. Co-saponites with varying cobalt content (5-30\%) were prepared and screened among which 13\% Co-saponite gave the highest conversion of 92\% of p-cresol with 92\% selectivity to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde without formation of any non-oxidation products.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Nano-structured, spinel Co3O4 catalyst was developed for the aqueous phase oxidation of veratryl alcohol, which showed the highest conversion of 85\% with 96\% selectivity to veratryl aldehyde. The co-existence of Co3+ and Co2+ species in the octahedral and tetrahedral positions respectively, was confirmed by XPS, cyclic voltammogram, TPR and TPO characterization. The rod-like morphology of Co3O4 catalyst was confirmed by HRTEM. The effects of various reaction parameters namely, catalyst concentration, temperature and partial oxygen pressure on conversion and selectivity patterns were also studied for the oxidation of veratryl alcohol. This catalyst also showed an excellent stability as evidenced by successful reusability for three times. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V.</p>},
