New heterogeneous catalysts, α-ZrP.M(salicylaldimine) prepared by covalent bonding.
Liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexane was studied using α-ZrP.M(salicylaldimine)/TBHP system.
α-ZrP.Co(salicylaldimine) gave maximum 14.18% conversion with 92.33% selectivity (KA-oil).
α-ZrP.Co(salicylaldimine) exhibit the excellent reusability.
