摘要
The unique and significant promotion effect of water has been evidenced by the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde over Au/TiO2 Catalysts. Water has dual promotional functions in the reaction system: to help form unique microdroplets in a multiphase reaction system and to assist the oxygen adsorption and activation. The conversion of benzyl alcohol at a molar ratio of water to solvent (p-xylene) of 7 is 7 times higher than in the absence of water. The present work has highlighted the potential of Au/TiO2 Catalysts in aerobic oxidation of alcohols in the unique multiphase reaction system with water as promoting solvent. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
