Evaluating the optimum molar ratio of Mn2+/Co2+ and mass percent of Al2O3 for preparing a catalyst for secondary alcohol oxidation

Alcohol oxidation is an important reaction in organic syntheses. Some of these reactions must be under difficult conditions in respect of high temperature and pressure. In many cases, reactions are conducted by environmentally in appropriate solutions. In this study, preparing an effective nanocatalyst and estimating the optimum provisions of its production processes are assessed. Two major and crucial factors of(Mn2+/Co2+)-Al2O3 catalyst are molar ratio of Mn2+/Co2+ and mass percent of Al2O3.Our experimental results showed that 1:1 molar ratio and 15% of Al2O3 by mass are fairly suitable. Prepered catalyst was used in the oxidation reaction.
