Using cotton as template, an efficient and highly recyclable porous tubular catalyst Al2O3-AlClx-3 was prepared by chemical tailor with hydrochloric acid. The structure of Al2O3-AlClx-3 catalyst was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X -ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Applying Al2O3-AlClx-3 catalyst in the oxidation of alcohol under optimized conditions, several parameters such as solvent system, catalyst amount, reaction temperature, and reaction time were screened. It was found that Al2O3-AlClx-3 catalyst is available for the oxidation of alcohol to corresponding aldehyde or ketone with higher conversion and selectivity using Oxone?as an oxidant. Basing on the literatures and experimental result,we have proposed a possible mechanism for the alcohol oxidation.
