The complete conversion of cyclohexane into cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone by a simple silica-chromium heterogeneous catalyst

Chromium and 4-(methylamino)benzoic acid (MBA) were incorporated into silica extracted from rice husk (RH). The chromium incorporated silica was labeled as RH-Cr and the chromium and MBA incorporated catalyst was labeled as RH-Cr-A. The specific surface area of RH-Cr and RH-Cr-A was determined to be...
