Title:
METHOD OF OXIDISING HYDROCARBONS TO ACIDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/014055
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of oxidising hydrocarbons, particularly branched or non-branched saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, cycloaliphatic or alkylaromatic hydrocarbons or alcohols and/or ketones, to acid or polyacid compounds. More specifically, the invention relates to oxidation with an oxidising agent containing molecular oxygen, cyclohexane and/or cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone to adipic acid, in the presence of aromatic organic acid and a manganese-based catalyst. The adipic acid yield and selectivity are high in relation to those obtained with other solvents and catalysts.
