Abstract

The present invention provides a novel Fe-Pd catalyst prepared by impregnating, either together or respectively, an iron source compound and a palladium source compound onto a carrier selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina and silica-alumina, and drying and calcining said Fe-Pd impregnated carrier in a flow of air or H.sub.2 /N.sub.2 ; and a method for preparing a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone by selectively oxidizing cyclohexane in a reaction medium provided with hydrogen and oxygen gases in the presence of said Fe-Pd catalyst.
