Resumen:
In this work, the catalytic performance of cobalt oxide supported on activated carbon was studiedduring the oxidation reaction of several aliphatic/aromatic primary or secondary alcohols. Good results for benzylalcohol and benzyl alcohol derivatives conversion and selectivity were obtained, while aliphatic, primary,and secondary alcohols in the study exhibited low conversions. The influence of the use of sonication duringthe impregnation of cobalt species was also evaluated. The particle size, distribution and dispersion of cobaltoxide (Co3O4) were compared with the catalyst prepared conventionally. These results are essential for understandingmore about the activity of this type of catalysts in the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones.
