RESEARCH INTO KINETIC REGULARITIES OF CATALYTIC LIQUID-PHASE OXIDATION OF n-HEXADECANE IN THE PRESENCE OF METALCOMPLEXES CALALYSTS

Kinetic regularities of catalytic liquid-phase oxidation of n-hexadecane in the presence of metal complexes of variable valence were studied. In the reaction of n-hexadecane oxidation as a catalytic mixture, a complex o-phenanthroline with stearate with variable valence metals (Mn2+, Cu2+, Co2+) was used. It found that o-phenanthroline significantly influences the catalytic activity of metal ions. The introduction of organic ligand into the catalytic system, as well as varying the ligand: metal salt ratio, has effect greatly on the course and character of the process.
