H20 between the
temperature range 140-200C. Maximum molar
conversion upto 85% was observed at 200C with 64
% selecti vity for p-toluic acid.
The effect of catalyst concentration on the
oxidation of p-xylene has been studied. Different
concentration of the catalyst were scanned for
optimum activitl. Maximum conversion was
observed when the molar ratio of the substrate to the
catalyst was 1470. Molar conversion upto 70.45 %
with good product selectivity was observed at this
concentration level.
Solvents such as 1 ,2-dichloroethane and water
were used for the oxidation purpose at 180C. A
solventless reaction was also carried out. The reaction
in aqueous medium gave the maximum conversion.
