Abstract The influence of coke formation in the reaction of benzene oxidation by nitrous oxide into phenol on the catalytic activity and concentration of iron-containing active sites (α-sites), which are stabilized in the microporous structure of FeZSM-5 zeolite, is studied. The deactivation by coke is explained by the poisoning of α-sites, whose concentration decreases linearly with an increase in the coke content, rather than by the blocking of zeolite pores. The activity per one α-site remains unchanged. This fact indicates the absence of diffusion limitations associated with coke formation. The toxicity of coke for the α-sites is determined. The coke amount equivalent to 100–120 benzene molecules is shown to result in the deactivation of one active site.
