Author:Makgwane, Peter R; Ray, SSDate:Sep 2014An efficient room temperature catalyzed oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone (K) and cyclohexanol (A) was achieved over hetero-mixed tungsten–vanadia (WO(sub3)/V(sub2)O(sub5)) using H(sub2)O(sub2) oxidant. WO(sub3)/V(sub2)O(sub5) exhibited ...Read more
Author:Bolokang, Amogelang S; Motaung, David EDate:Apr 2017We report on the synthesis of a mixture of vanadium (V), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti) and carbon (C) mixture using ball milling in argon atmosphere. Thermal analysis of the milled powder showed an exothermic reaction at approximately 700°C in ...Read more
Author:Makgwane, Peter R; Ray, SSDate:Mar 2015A highly active and magnetically recyclable nanostructured copper–iron oxide (CuFe) catalyst has been synthesized for hydroxylation of benzene to phenol under mild reaction conditions. The obtained catalytic results were correlated with the ...Read more
