This observation confirmed that the structure of recycled
catalyst is preserved and is stable at least for two run oxida-
tion reaction. Results were also confirmed by the previous
reports [37, 43, 44].

In summary, a new active and recyclable catalyst, Na-Co-
STPOM, for the oxidation of alcohols with hydrogen per-
oxide in water has been reported. Compared to potassium
and TBA salts, Na-Co-STPOM showed a better activity for
alcohol oxidation in water. The oxidation of primary and
secondary alcohols was also performed in the presence of
above-mentioned catalyst. Na-Co-STPOM was recycled
