OXIDATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS USING BROMINATED ANTHRACENE PROMOTERS

摘要

Brominated anthracene is effectively used in a catalyst system as promoter for the catalytic oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons in the production of aromatic carboxylic acids and results in reduced corrosion of process equipment and reduced formation of alkyl bromides while providing yield and quality comparable to that of conventional bromine promoters.
