Abstract: The nanoscales α-Fe2O3 /microporous resin catalyst was prepared by the ion exchange method and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and Mssbauer spectroscopy. The uses of these techniques make it possible to perform an estimation of the size of the iron oxide crystallites on microporous resin. The size of the crystallites has been found to be smaller than5 nm. The catalyst prepared exhibited a very good catalytic activity on the hydroxylation of phenol with H2O2 to dihydroxybenzene. The effect conversion of phenol reached 22.4% when phenol/H2O2(molar ratio) is 3 and the ratio of catechol and hydroquinone is about 1.4 in the products. The results didn't change when the reaction was magnified to 3000 times. Furthermore, compared α-Fe2O3 /microporous resin with α-Fe2O3 prepared from chemical precipitation, it was thought that the reason of different hydroxylation activity of phenol between the two kinds of catalysts was the size of particles in nature.
