Synthesis of a CrCoAPO-5(AFI) molecular sieve and its activity in cyclohexane oxidation in the liquid phase
A new CrCoAPO-5 was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance and nitrogen physisorption. The CrCoAPO-5 showed catalytic activity in the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexane at 115 degreesC and 1 MPa of oxygen.
