The cobalt–manganese–bromide composite catalyst is a liquid-phase oxidation catalyst composed of cobalt salt, manganese salt, and bromide as core active ingredients in a specific proportion (approximately 4% w/w cobalt, 4% manganese, and 20% w/w bromine). It exhibits active chemical properties, combining the catalytic synergistic effect of cobalt and manganese ions with the co-catalytic effect of bromide. Under high temperature and pressure, it can efficiently activate oxygen, accelerate the oxidation reaction process, and offer strong catalytic selectivity with few side reactions. Industrially, it is primarily used in the petrochemical sector (catalyzing the oxidation of paraxylene to produce terephthalic acid—serving as a core catalyst in the polyester industry), carboxylic acid synthesis (catalyzing the oxidation of o-xylene to produce phthalic anhydride, or the oxidation of cyclohexane to produce adipic acid), and also in fine chemicals (catalyzing the oxidation of alkyl benzene to synthesize corresponding carboxylic acids used in the production of plasticizers and detergent raw materials), polymer monomer synthesis (assisting in the preparation of monomers for polyester, nylon, and other polymer materials), and other liquid-phase oxidation reactions of aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons, particularly in large-scale industrial continuous production scenarios.
