Optimization and mechanistic study of the liquid-phase oxidation of naphthalene over biomass-derived iron catalyst
Iron supported silica catalysts were synthesized from rice husk using sol–gel route at room temperature. FT-Raman spectroscopy and XRD analysis confirmed that the iron catalysts were free from iron oxide while pyridine adsorption–desorption analysis proved the presence of both Brönsted and Lewis aci...
