A wax melt includes between about one and about sixty percent by weight of paraffin wax, between about 3 percent and about 20 percent by weight of fragrance, and between about 10 percent and about 35 percent by weight of a silicate. The silicate causes between about 97 percent and about 98 percent of a wax melt weight to be retained over a time period of about sixteen hours when maintained at about sixty-five degrees Celsius.

Wax melt with filler

A process of activating a fresh catalyst or regenerating a deactivated catalyst which is used in a hydro-oxidation process, preferably, the hydro-oxidation of an olefin in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen to an olefin oxide. The hydro-oxidation catalyst preferably comprises at least one metal selected from gold, silver, the platinum group metals, the lanthanide metals, and combinations thereof, incorporated onto a titanium- , vanadium- , or zirconium-containing support, more preferably, a titanium-containing support, such as titanium oxide or a titanosilicate. The activation or regeneration process involves contacting the fresh catalyst or the deactivated catalyst with ozone.
