Catalytic oxidation of cellulose to formic acid in H5PV2Mo10O40 + H2SO4 aqueous solution with molecular oxygen
Keyword(s):
In this work, the most frequently-used heteropoly acid H5PV2Mo10O40 was employed with a pH “modifier” of H2SO4 in aqueous solution for the catalytic oxidation of cellulose to formic acid.
