description This article reports the oxidation of cumene by H _2 O _2 in the presence of CO _2 . It describes the role played by carbon dioxide on the course of the reaction. The reaction was catalyzed by unsupported Co _1.5 PW _12 O _40 and supported on activated carbon. The prepared materials were characterized by ICP, IR, XRD and UV. Analysis of the reaction products by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and gas chromatography showed that 2-phenyl-2-propanol and acetophenone were the main products of the reaction. Activated carbon significantly increases conversion by increasing Co _1.5 PW _12 O _40 accessibility to cumene molecules. The improvement in the conversion and selectivities of 2-phenyl-2-propanol and acetophenone by the use of the oxidizing system H _2 O _2 /CO _2 compared to the use of H _2 O _2 alone or CO _2 alone is due to the role of the percarbonate entity ${{\rm{HCO}}}_{4}^{-}$ formed by reaction between H _2 O _2 and CO _2 . Oxidation by large amounts of H _2 O _2 decreases the conversion by decreasing the solubility of cumene in the resulting aqueous medium. An increase in the reaction time resulting in a decrease in the concentration of H _2 O _2 and leaving the effect of the predominant CO _2 accentuates the cracking reactions.
