Heterogeneous Catalysts From Rice Husk Modified With Chromium, Molybdenum And Tungsten: Synthesis, Characterization And Application In Styrene Oxidation

A series of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten incorporated silica extracted from rice husk were prepared at pH 10, pH 7 and pH 3 media using solvent extraction method and sol-gel technique. Liquid phase oxidation of styrene using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant was used as a probe to test their catalyt...
