Oxidation of methylene chloride on alumina supported chromium oxide catalysts

Hwang LD, Kim HS, Song MW, Haam SJ, Park JW

Chromium oxides of loading ranges from 5 to 15 wt. % on gamma-alumina were tested. The optimum chromium oxide loading for the catalytic oxidation is 10 wt. %. Catalysts were investigated by BET, Raman spectroscopy and XPS. The formation of crystalline Cr2O3 has a detrimental effect on catalysts in CH2Cl2 oxidation.
