Supported iron catalysts are active for hydrocarbon oxidation with H2O2, but the hydrogen peroxide dismutation is a shortcoming that may constrain their applications. Herein, we attempted to address this problem using potassium and phosphate-doped iron oxide-silica nanocomposite (KPFeSi) synthesized via sol-gel methods. The promoted silica-iron oxide nanocomposite has been characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface-size determination. The synthesized KPFeSi was an active catalyst in the low-temperature liquid phase oxidation of various alkyl aromatics with hydrogen peroxide in conversions of 31-78%. Furthermore, the direct oxidation of benzene into phenol using hydrogen peroxide has been achieved in the absence of any acid with this KPFeSi compound.
