Carboxylic acids (CAs) are important chemicals widely used in industrial manufacturing. They can be produced with high yields from O-2 oxidation of lignite and the process is regarded promising in the future. However, current methods for the process consume a large amount of mineral alkali and acids, or involve catalysts that are harmful to environment and human beings, and require high temperatures. In this work, we have screened various catalysts and found an iron-based catalyst (FeCl3, Fe-2(SO4)(3)) to be beneficial for the process. The products include formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid and benzene carboxylic acids (BCAs, including 12 types). The effects of FeCl3 concentration, H2SO4 concentration, reaction temperature, initial O-2 pressure and reaction time on lignite conversion and CAs yield are studied. It is found that H2SO4 can change the catalytic activity of FeCl3 resulting in a synergistic effect for CAs production. In the oxidation process, Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+ by lignite while O-2 reoxidizes Fe2+ to Fe3+ to form a redox cycle. The catalyst can be reused without significant decline in activity. The method developed in this work requires no alkali and consumes little H2SO4, and is environmentally benign. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
