The low activity of 5%Pt–1%Bi/Carbon for the oxidation of 2-octanol at atmospheric pressure and 343K was investigated. Using solvents such as heptane and p-xylene, it was shown that the reaction rates decrease dramatically shortly after the start of the reaction due to poisoning by product adsorption. Hence this work investigates the effect of using different solvent mixtures on the oxidation reaction...
