Presented here is an investigation of the activity and recovery of the homogeneous manganese/bromide catalyst during the continuous flow oxidation of o-xylene, as model substrate, with molecular oxygen (O-2) in supercritical water (scH(2)O). Two strategies are discussed for preventing catalyst precipitation, mainly in the form of oxides such as manganese(IV) oxide, The first strategy involves varying the manganese:bromide ratio using either manganese(H) acetate or manganese(II) bromide in the presence of hydrobromic and other acids. The results show that the effect of acidity and bromide concentration plays an important role in preventing the manganese/bromide catalyst from precipitating. The second strategy uses aromatic carboxylic acids in combination with the manganese/bromide catalyst, particularly benzoic acid, which improves the catalyst recovery dramatically over a certain range of acid concentrations. Our studies show how the presence of an organic acid and/or its precursors is important in stabilising the catalyst. Our results are rationalised on the basis of a tentative reaction mechanism.
