Immobilization of catalyst in a wall-coated micro-structured reactor for gas/liquid oxidation of p-cymene

The selective, liquid phase oxidation of p-cymene is an important synthetic route for the production of p-cresol via the tertiary cymene hydroperoxide (TCHP). The industrial-scale oxidation process is characterised by slow oxidation rates due to limitations in the mass transfer of oxidant (gaseous o...
