Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Alkohols, Ketons und Aldehyds durch Oxidation eines Kohlenwasserstoffes

摘要

An alcohol or a ketone or a mixture thereof is produced from a saturated hydrocarbon or an epoxide is produced from an unsaturated hydrocarbon by passing a mixture comprising of molecular hydrogen, the saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon and oxygen through a bed of a catalyst comprising a titanium dioxide carrier and ultrafine gold particles deposited on the carrier, thereby effecting the oxidation of the hydrocarbon with oxygen.
