Deep oxidation of hydrocarbon compounds with doped porous carbonaceous materials

摘要

A method for oxidizing hydrocarbon compounds comprising passing a mixture of the hydrocarbon compound and excess oxygen over a catalyst comprising a carbonaceous substrate doped with a compound selected from the group consisting of metal oxide, metal oxyhalide, and precursors which form metal oxide and metal oxyhalide, and blends thereof under mild reaction conditions. The temperature of the reaction is below about 300 DEG C.
