Cyclohexane photo-catalytic oxidation on TiO2, an in situ ATR-FTIR mechanistic and kinetic study

Chemical processes are generally operated at elevated temperatures and pressures, and energy intensive separations are usually necessary. This thesis focuses on the production of cyclohexanone, which is an intermediate of high commercial importance as a result of its use in nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 production. Using TiO2 based photo-catalysis is a...
