A Composite Fe-V/g-C3N4 for Liquid-Phase Selective Oxidation of Methanol with O-2 Oxidant
A composite material Fe-V/g-C3N4 prepared by impregnation achieved an efficient performance for heterogeneously catalytic oxidation of methanol to dimethoxymethane (DMM) and poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ethers (POM) by O-2 oxidant in batch reactor, exhibiting 34.3% conversion and > 99.0% selectivity to DMM and POM. However, a pioneered strategy for tuneable synthesis of DMM and POM was realized by controlling the reaction time. The experimental results revealed that FeVO4 and V2O5 nanoparticle crystallizes served as the active sites and higher specific areas 29.3-51.9 m(3)/g for the catalysts were jointly responsible for the high activity. Besides, the catalyst could be easily recovered and effectively reused. [GRAPHICS] .
