A Pd–TSH composite membrane reactor for one-step oxidation of benzene to phenol†
Abstract
Pd membranes with excellent stability and flux were prepared by modified electroless plating, and a loose TSH zeolite with intraparticle hollows was joined on the Pd membrane by a covalent bonding method. The prepared Pd–TSH composite membrane shows outstanding performance for phenol production in the one-step oxidation of benzene to phenol.
