AbstractAmorphous SiO2–Al2O3was prepared by sol–gel method and cobalt oxide supported on SiO2–Al2O3was prepared by impregnation method. These materials were characterized by BET, XRD, TPD and FT-IR. The activity of SiO2–Al2O3and Co3O4/SiO2–Al2O3catalysts for nitrosation of cyclohexane with nitrosyl sulfuric acid in the presence of fuming sulphuric acid was evaluated. The results indicate that SiO2–Al2O3and Co3O4/SiO2–Al2O3can catalyze efficiently this nitrosation reaction. And Co3O4/SiO2–Al2O3gave better results with 11.93% of conversion and 54.68% of selectivity to ε-caprolactam. This discovery establishes a potential method for one-pot synthesis of ε-caprolactam from cyclohexane. It may be of potential application prospect and of prominent theoretical significance.Graphical AbstractAmorphous SiO2–Al2O3and its supported Co3O4catalysts were prepared and characterized.
