Influence of different catalyst parameters (different methods of gold deposition on U3O8, gold loading and particle size, and catalyst calcination temperature) and reaction conditions (reaction period and temperature) on the process performance has been studied. The catalyst containing gold at higher concentration and with smaller gold particles showed the better process performance (higher benzyl alcohol conversion and benzaldehyde yield or selectivity). The benzyl alcohol conversion is largely increased but the selectivity for benzaldehyde is slightly decreased (while that of benzyl benzoate is increased) with increasing the reaction period or temperature. In the presence of solvent (viz. tolune, p-xylene, DMF or DMSO), the process performance was found to be inferior to that observed in the absence of any solvent. Substituted benzyl alcohols also can be oxidized by O-2 to corresponding aldehydes with high yield and/or selectivity, using the catalyst in the absence of any solvent.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8.506</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Choudhary, Vasant R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jha, Rani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaudhari, Nitin K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jana, Prabhas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Supported copper oxide as a highly active/selective catalyst for the epoxidation of styrene by TBHP to styrene oxide</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalysis Communications</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CuO/Al2O3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CuO/Ga2O3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CuO/In2O3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuo/Si-MCM-41</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CuO/SiO2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epoxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">styrene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Styrene oxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">tertiary butyl hydroperoxide</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1556-1560</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Liquid phase epoxidation of styrene by anhydrous and aqueous TBHP to styrene oxide has been studied under reflux, using different supported CuO (viz. Cuo/Si-MCM-41, CuO/Al2O3, CuO/Ga2O3 and CuO/In2O3) as easily separable and reusable heterogeneous catalysts. The CuO/Ga2O3 catalyst showed the best performance in the epoxidation by aqueous TBHP. The CuO supported on In2O3 or Si-MCM-41 also showed very good performance in the epoxidation but only by anhydrous TBHP. However, the CUO/SiO2 catalyst, however, showed very good performance in the epoxidation by both the anhydrous and aqueous TBHP. Influence of the reaction conditions (temperature, time and TBHP/styrene ratio) on the epoxidation by aqueous TBHP over the best catalyst (CuO/Ga2O3) has been investigated. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
