Different carbon structures (activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphite) were investigated for the replacement of heteropoly catalysts for the oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid. Activated carbon showed the best catalytic performance with higher catalytic activity than molybdovanaphosphoric acid at lower temperatures. The catalytic performance of activated carbon was further improved by the addition of heteroatoms, such as P, B, N and S. The latter occupy the electrophilic oxygen functional groups thus preventing further oxidation of methacrylic acid and improving reaction selectivity. The best catalytic performance results were obtained on activated carbon with 10 wt% P, where methacrolein conversion, methacrylic acid selectivity and yield at 270 °C were 40.1, 70.8 and 30.3%, respectively. The results of the present work show a novel way to design non-metal catalysts for the selective oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid.
