	abstract = {<p>Reaction of O-2 with hydroxylamine or its salts over a number of supported gold catalysts containing An nanoparticles (at 10-70 degrees C) has been studied at atmospheric pressure for the in situ generation of H2O2 (required for organic oxidation reactions in the synthesis of fine/specialty chemicals) in aqueous (water) or non-aqueous medium. Hydrogen peroxide in high yields with harmless by-products (viz. water and nitrogen) can be generated in situ by the reduction Of O-2 by hydroxylammonium sulfate (or chloride) or hydroxylamine using the supported gold catalysts particularly Au/Gd2O3, Au/La2O3 and Au/MgO, in aqueous (water) or non-aqueous (viz. methanol) medium at close to ambient conditions. The reduction of O-2 by hydroxylammonium salt to H2O2, however, requires preneutralization of the salt by alkali; in the absence of the neutralization, only water is formed in the reaction.

	abstract = {<p>Magnesium oxide supported nano-gold catalyst (prepared by the homogeneous deposition precipitation technique) showed high activity/selectivity and excellent reusability in the oxidation of different primary alcohols and aldehydes to corresponding aldehydes and carboxylic acids, respectively, by molecular oxygen (under atmospheric pressure) in the absence of any solvent. Influence of the catalyst calcination temperature (400-900 degrees C), reaction temperature (50-120 degrees C) and use of different solvents (viz. toluene. p-xylene, DMF or DMSO) on the oxidation reaction has also been studied.
