The aerobic selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol on manganese and vanadium catalysts supported on activated carbon (Mn/C and V/C) pretreated in liquid or gas phase oxidation has been investigated. Significant improvement of the catalytic activity was observed when pretreatments of the carbon suppor...
