The H2O2 destruction is strongly influenced by the oxidation state of Pd in the catalyst and also by the presence of different halide anions (viz. F-, Cl-, Br- and I-) in the acidic aqueous medium or in the catalyst, depending upon the concentration of halide anions. The cations associated with halide anions have, however, a little or no influence on the H2O2 destruction. The iodide anions strongly poisoned the catalyst, even at their very low concentration. The fluoride anions have only a small effect on the H2O2 destruction. The chloride or bromide anions drastically inhibit the rapid H2O2 decomposition, but promote the slower H2O2 hydrogenation. The H2O2 destruction reactions are strongly influenced by the halide anion and acid concentrations. The presence of acid (protons) plays a very important role in drastically reducing the H2O2 destruction, particularly in the presence of chloride anions. Both in the presence and absence of Cl- or Br- anions, the H2O2 destruction activity of the catalyst is markedly reduced because of the oxidation of Pd but it is drastically increased due to the presence of H-2. A plausible reaction mechanism for the rapid H2O2 decomposition and slower H2O2 hydrogenation reactions, prevailing under the different reaction conditions, has also been discussed.

In both the cases, the highest synergetic effect (resulting in the highest net H2O2 formation) produced by the addition of other halogen is observed at its optimum concentration (viz. 0.13 mmol Br/g in the fluorinated Pd/Al2O3 and 0.13 mmol F/g in the pre-brominated Pd/Al2O3). The beneficial synergetic effect of the two halogens is also found to be strongly influenced by the way of incorporation of the two halogens in the catalyst. The enhancement in the net rate of H2O2 formation due to the synergetic effect for the different methods of Pd/Al2O3 halogenation is in the following order: simultaneous bromination and fluorination &lt; first fluorination and then bromination &lt; first bromination and then fluorination. The fluorination (at optimum concentration of 0.13 mmol F/g) of the pre-brominated (0.13 mmol Br/g) Pd/Al2O3 led to the best catalyst for the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation with 100% H-2 conversion and 78% H2O2 yield/selectivity.

Among the different halide anions, Br- anions are most effective for promoting the H2O2 formation and inhibiting the H2O2 destruction by both the H2O2 decomposition and/or hydrogenation. The cations associated with the halide anions, however, have only a little or no influence on both the H2O2 formation and destruction. The concentration of the different halide anions has a strong influence on the H-2 conversion and H2O2 formation and destruction activities of the Pd/Al2O3. The H2O2 formation activity in the presence of Br- or Cl- anions is highest at the optimum concentration of halide (about 1.0 mmol/dm(3)). it is also highest at the optimum concentration of phosphoric acid (between 0.1 and 0.3 mol/dm(3)). In general, the H2O2 formation is increased with decreasing the H2O2 destruction activity of the catalyst, indicating a close relationship between the two. Br- anions act as an excellent catalyst promoter for Pd/Al2O3 catalyst, but they show only a small promoting effect for PdO/Al2O3 catalyst. The next choice for halide promoter for Pd/Al2O3 catalyst is Cl- anions. F- and I- anions are, however, catalyst inhibitor and strong poison, respectively, for the H2O2 formation. At the same concentration, Br- anions are more effective than Cl- anions for inhibiting the H2O2 destruction reactions over Pd/Al2O3 Catalyst.

F-, Cl-, Br- or I-), covering their wide concentration range (0-24 mmol/dm(3)), in the reaction medium. In the absence of any externally added halide, appreciable H2O2 formation in the H2 oxidation occurred only when the medium contained HCl. However, the rates of H2O2 decomposition and hydrogenation are greatly reduced because of the presence of any acid; the influence on the H2O2 decomposition was, however, much larger for the halo acids. In the presence of acid (0.1 N H3PO4 or H2SO4), the H-2-to-H2O2 formation reaction is greatly enhanced by the externally added halide anions up to their optimum concentrations. However, above the optimum halide anion concentration, it is inhibited more than the H-2-to-water formation (parallel) reaction, causing a decrease in both the H2O2 yield and selectivity. Whereas, the H-2 conversion and H2O2 destruction activities of the catalyst are decreased continuously with increasing the halide anion (except F-) concentration. Among the halides, chloride is the best halide promoter for Pd/C catalyst in the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation. At the optimum Cl-concentration (5.4 mmol/dm(3)), both the H-2 conversion and H2O2 yield are passed through a maximum and the H2O2 decomposition is greatly inhibited with increasing the phosphoric acid concentration. In the absence of either the chloride anions or the acid (or both) in the reaction medium, only a little or no H2O2 is formed in the H-2 oxidation and also the rate of H2O2 destruction is very fast, particularly in the presence of H-2; the rapid destruction of H2O2 is mainly due to its decomposition rather than its hydrogenation. The best H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation results are obtained at the optimum concentrations of both the acid and halide anions. In the presence of acid and chloride (or bromide) promoter, the H2O2 hydrogenation dominates the H2O2 destruction and hence the net H2O2 formation is mainly controlled by the H2O2 hydrogenation.

The influence of the following factors have been addressed in this study: (a) Br concentration (in the reaction medium or incorporated in the catalyst); (b) reaction conditions (viz. reaction time, temperature); (c) concentrations of reducing agent and phosphoric acid in the reaction medium. Decomposition of N2H4 (from NH4-H2SO4) and its reaction with H2O2 under similar reaction conditions (in the absence of O-2) have also been studied. H2O2, which is an intermediate product of the O-2 reduction, is involved in further consecutive reactions. It can be converted to water via its decomposition and/or reaction with the unconverted NZH(4). In the presence of Br promoter, the later (reaction with unconverted N2H4) is more dominant. Both the consecutive reactions are drastically retarded in the presence of protons and Br promoter. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed for illustrating the role of the protons and Br promoter in the selective formation of H2O2 in the O-2 reduction process. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

However, in the presence of both the protons and Cl- or Br- anions, the H2O2 conversion occurs mainly by the hydrogenation reaction.

The catalyst containing gold at higher concentration and with smaller gold particles showed the better process performance (higher benzyl alcohol conversion and benzaldehyde yield or selectivity). The benzyl alcohol conversion is largely increased but the selectivity for benzaldehyde is slightly decreased (while that of benzyl benzoate is increased) with increasing the reaction period or temperature. In the presence of solvent (viz. tolune, p-xylene, DMF or DMSO), the process performance was found to be inferior to that observed in the absence of any solvent.

Fe2O3, Al2O3, Co3O4, MnO2, CeO2, MgO, Ga2O3 and TiO2), using the homogeneous deposition precipitation (HDP) technique. The catalysts were evaluated for their performance in the combustion of methane (1 mol% in air) at different temperatures (300-600 degrees C) for a GHSV of 51,000 h(-1). The supported nano-gold catalysts have been characterized for their gold loading (by ICP) and gold particle size (by TEM/HRTEM or XRD peak broadening). Among these nano-gold catalysts, the Au/Fe2O3 (Au loading = 6.1% and Au particle size = 8.5 nm) showed excellent performance. For this catalyst, temperature required for half the methane combustion was 387 degrees C, which is lower than that required for Pd(1%)/Al2O3 (400 degrees C) and Pt(1%)/Al2O3 (500 degrees C) under identical conditions. A detailed investigation on the influence of space velocity (GHSV = 10,000-100,000 cm(3) g(-1) h(-1)) at different temperatures (200-600 degrees C) on the oxidative destruction of methane over the Au/Fe2O3 catalyst has also been carried out. The Au/Fe2O3 catalyst prepared by the HDP method showed much higher methane combustion activity than that prepared by the conventional deposition precipitation (DP) method.

The H2O2 destruction during the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation increased with increasing the concentration of H-2 (relative to that of O-2) due to the increased H2O2 hydrogenation rate over the catalyst.
