MgO, CaO, BaO and SrO), Gr. IIIa metal oxides (viz. Al(2)O(3), Ga(2)O(3), In(2)O(3) and Tl(2)O(3)), transition metal oxides (viz. TiO(2), Cr(2)O(3), MnO(2), Fe(2)O(3), CoO(x), NiO, CuO, ZnO, Y(2)O(3) and ZrO(2)), rare earth metal oxides (viz.

For the epoxidation, the catalytic performance (styrene oxide yield) of the most promising nano-gold catalysts prepared by the HDP method was in the following order: Au/MgO &amp;gt; Au/Tl(2)O(3) &amp;gt; Au/Yb(2)O(3) &amp;gt; Au/Tb(2)O(3) &amp;gt; Au/CaO (or TiO(2)). However, for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by molecular oxygen, the order of choice for the most promising catalysts (based on benzaldehyde yield) was Au/U(3)O(8) &amp;gt; Au/Al(2)O(3) &amp;gt; Au/ZrO(2) &amp;gt; Au/MgO. Whereas, when TBHP was used as an oxidizing agent for the benzyl alcohol oxidation, the order of choice for the most promising catalysts was Au/U(3)O(8) &amp;gt; Au/MgO &amp;gt; Au/TiO(2) &amp;gt; Au/ZrO(2) &amp;gt; Au/Al(2)O(3). The catalytic performance of a particular supported nano-gold catalyst was thus found to depend on the reaction catalysed by them. Moreover, it is strongly influenced by a number of catalyst parameters, such as the metal oxide support, the method of gold depositon on the support, the gold loading and also on the catalyst calcination temperature. Nano-gold particles-support interactions seem to play an important role in controlling the deposition of gold ( amount of gold deposited and size and morphology of gold particles), formation of different surface gold species (Au(0), Au(1+) and Au(3+)) and electronic properties of gold particles and, consequently, control the catalytic performance (both the activity and selectivity) of the supported nano-gold catalysts in the reactions. The nano-gold catalysts prepared by the HDP method showed much better catalytic performance than those prepared by the DP, coprecipitation or impregnation method; in general, the HDP method provided supported gold catalysts with much higher gold loading and/or smaller size gold particles than that achieved by the DP and other methods.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.359</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saxena, Samidha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dwivedi, Reena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhadauria, Sheenu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chumbhale, Vilas R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prasad, Rajendra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kinetics studies and mechanism evolution of the epoxidation of styrene over nanoporous Au doped TS-1</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polish Journal of Chemical Technology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Au/TS-1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epoxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">kinetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">styrene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Styrene oxide</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">VERSITA</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SOLIPSKA 14A-1, 02-482 WARSAW, POLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">72-78</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;{A kinetic investigation of the slurry phase epoxidation of styrene with hydrogen peroxide has been carried out, for the first time, over nanoporous Au doped TS-1 catalyst, in a batch reactor, in the temperature range of 313-333 K.
