Abstract

Syntheses of thermally stable chromium-incorporating hexagonal mesoporous aluminophosphate and cubic Cr-MCM-48 were reported. Characterization of the catalysts was made using low angle XRD, N2 adsorption, UV-VISDRS, thermal anal., ICP-AES and ESR. Mesoporous Cr-AlPO4 and Cr-MCM-48 catalysts have been found to be active for the vapor phase oxidn. of toluene with mol. oxygen. Mesoporous Cr-AlPO4 is found to exhibit both acidic and redox properties and hence oxidn. as well as dealkylation reactions are taking place in a concerted manner, whereas, the cubic silicate analog acts as a pure redox catalyst.

Oxygen

Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group in the periodic table, a highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds. Oxygen is Earth's most abundant element, and after hydrogen and helium, it is the third-most abundant element in the universe. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula O2.

Catalysis

Catalysis (kəˈtæləsɪs) is the process of change in rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (ˈkætəlɪst). Catalysts are not consumed by the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst recycles quickly, very small amounts of catalyst often suffice; mixing, surface area, and temperature are important factors in reaction rate. Catalysts generally react with one or more reactants to form intermediates that subsequently give the final reaction product, in the process of regenerating the catalyst.

Allotropes of oxygen

There are several known allotropes of oxygen. The most familiar is molecular oxygen (), present at significant levels in Earth's atmosphere and also known as dioxygen or triplet oxygen. Another is the highly reactive ozone (). Others are: Atomic oxygen (), a free radical. Singlet oxygen (O2*), one of two metastable states of molecular oxygen. Tetraoxygen (), another metastable form. Solid oxygen, existing in six variously colored phases, of which one is octaoxygen (,red oxygen) and another one metallic (ζ-oxygen).
