METHOD FOR OXIDISING OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND CATALYTIC SYSTEM THEREOF Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C07C51/265 B01J23/889 B01J31/04 B01J37/04 C07C63/24 C07C63/26 C07C63/307 C07C63/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to the improved method for oxidising of aromatic hydrocarbon such as para-xylol, meta-xylol, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene or pseudocumene with forming of corresponding organic acid. The oxidation is implemented by the source of molecular oxygen in liquid phase at temperature range from 50°C to 250°C in the presence of catalyst being a) oxidation catalyst based on at least one heavy metal representing cobalt and one or more additive metals being selected from manganese, cerium, zirconium, titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, nickel and hafnium; b) bromine source; and c) unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. The invention refers also to the catalytic system for obtaining of organic acid by the liquid-phase oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons representing: a) oxidation catalyst based on at least one heavy metal representing cobalt and one or more additive metals being selected from manganese, cerium, zirconium, titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, nickel and hafnium; b) bromine source; and c) unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

EFFECT: activation of the aromatic hydrocarbons oxidation increasing the yield of target products and allowing to decrease the catalyst concentration and the temperature of the process.
