Abstract
This document presents a brief history of catalysis, as well as of the selective oxidation processes of hydrocarbons. On the other hand, the basic concepts involved in heterogeneous catalysis are addressed, emphasizing the role of catalytic materials in chemical oxidation processes and posing a series of guiding questions that must be followed when addressing a process catalyzed by solid materials. In the same way, the preparation methods known in the literature as sol-gel and impregnation are shown, identifying the influence of each preparation step with the physical and chemical properties of the materials. Finally, a case study applied to the selective catalytic oxidation of methane and methanol using iron, molybdenum, and vanadium catalytic materials synthesized by the sol-gel method is presented.
