Sumario:[EN] Iron-containing alumina materials were prepared by the non-hydrolytic sol-gel method in the presence of surfactants and their use as catalysts in the oxidation of hydrocarbons was studied. The solids were mesoporous, with large specific surface areas, > 250 m2 /g for the solids treated at 500 ◦C, depending on the surfactant used (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecyl sulfate or hexadecylamine), and the calcination treatment applied (500 or 1000 ◦C). Iron was well distributed on the alumina surface, as confirmed by the EPR signals at 4.3 and 2.0 G and SEM imaging. The catalytic activity in the oxidation of cyclooctene, cyclohexane, and n-hexane was evaluated. After reaction for 48 h, the solid prepared with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and calcined at 1000 ◦C showed a 25% conversion of cyclohexane with 51% selectivity to cyclohexanone. These were promising results, considering the mild reaction conditions, using a non-polluting oxidant at room temperature or 50–55 ◦C.
