Journal Article · · J. Appl. Chem. USSR (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6289933

The purpose of this work was to investigate the activity of chromium and molybdenum oxides deposited on ..gamma..-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ in the conversion reaction of cyclohexanol. The authors established that chromium oxide deposited on aluminum oxide has a high activity in the dehydration reaction of cyclohexanol. The yield of ketone reached 95 mole %. They showed that Al-Mo catalysts possess emphasized acidic properties, and that the main reaction products with these catalysts are cyclohexene and cyclohexane.
