	abstract = {<p>Test data for catalytic oxidation of acetophenone into benzoic acid performed at bench scale with V2O5-MoO3 catalyst in a continuous downflow metal reactor are presented. The process parameters such as temperature and flow rate influence the product distribution. The P2O5, B2O3 and Na2O when used as dopant on V2O5-MoO3 catalyst showed marked influence on activity and selectivity. An acidic catalyst like V2O5-MoO3-P2O5 favours formation of benzoic acid while a basic catalyst like V2O5-MoO3-Na2O favours formation of benzaldehyde. The addition of Na2O into V2O5-MoO3 binary oxides formed new phases (NaVMoO6 and Na2V2Mo3O15), which increased Arrhenius activation energy from 18.24 to 31.35 kcal mol(-1).</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The consumption of acetophenone (AP) is increasing worldwide because of its applications in products such as alcohol, aldehydes, resins, esters, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals. AP is manufactured via several methods like decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide, Hock process, and Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction using homogeneous catalysts with solvent and oxidant. However, it causes several environmental problems that deteriorate the production of AP with these methods. Oxidation of ethylbenzene (EB) is one of the promising methods to synthesize AP in liquid and vapor phases reaction using heterogeneous catalysts, which plays a vital role for selective production of AP. In this review, numerous heterogeneous catalysts are discussed including transition metal nanoparticles, transition metal complexes, and metal free catalysts (carbon nanotubes) used in last 10 years for oxidation of EB. Additionally, catalyst activity along with reaction parameters and its effect, mechanisms, and kinetics study are summarized in this article. The future scope of this reaction is also highlighted. Moreover, this work identifies best catalysts for bulk production of AP with high yield to satisfy global requirement.</p>
