Modification of the activity of Mg{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2} in the gas-phase conversion of cyclohexanol by addition of sodium carbonate
- Universidad de Cordoba (Spain); and others
This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of solid NaMgPO{sub 4}, obtained by adding Na{sub 2}CO{sub 3} to freshly formed Mg{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center_dot}22H{sub 2}O. The magnesium orthophosphate was prepared by gelling an aqueous solution of MgCl{sub 2} and Na{sub 2}HPO{sub 4} with 3 N NaOH. The solid products thus obtained were characterized by using various structural (XRD), surface (XPS, DRIFT,BET), and morphological (SEM) elucidation techniques. The results show that the NaMgPO{sub 4} surface also contains Na{sub 2}CO{sub 3}, NaCl, and MgO, which endow it with increased activity and selectivity. Thus, Mg{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2} yields cyclohexene (CHE) preferentially, and some cyclohexanone (CHONE), in the gas-phase conversion of cyclohexanol. On the other hand, NaMgPO{sub 4} produces CHONE selectively under the same reaction conditions. 61 refs., 9 figs., 4 tabs.
