	abstract = {<p>Liquid phase oxidation of p-cresol was carried out over a Co-saponite catalyst in a temperature and pressure range of 333-393 K and 20-827 kPa, respectively in n-propanol. Co-saponites with varying cobalt content (5-30\%) were prepared and screened among which 13\% Co-saponite gave the highest conversion of 92\% of p-cresol with 92\% selectivity to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde without formation of any non-oxidation products.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Effect of cobalt loading on porosity of synthetic Co-saponite catalysts and on the air oxidation of p-vanillyl alcohol was studied by varying Co content in the range of 5\% to 30\% using in situ precipitation method. The pore size increased from 1.29 to 3.69 nm indicating a transition from micro to meso porosity, with increase in Co loading from 5\% to 30\%. The distribution ratio of Co(3)O(4)/CoO phases as estimated from TPR studies, also increased from 0.84 to 1.67 with increase in Co loading from 5\% to 13\% and remained almost constant (1.7) with further increase in Co loading up to 30\%. The highest activity (conversion 55\%) and selectivity of 99\% to p-vanillin obtained for 13\% Co-saponite in p-vanillyl alcohol oxidation was due to the highest distribution ratios of Co(3)O(4)/CoO phases.
