A bleach catalyst suitable for use in automatic dishwashing comprising a mixed metal oxide.

Bleach catalyst

A method of direct oxidation of a hydrocarbon to produce an oxygenated reaction product, wherein said method comprises contacting a peroxide and oxygen and the hydrocarbon with a suspension of catalyst particles dispersed in a liquid reaction medium, wherein the catalyst particles are unsupported and comprise at least one transition metal.

Hydrocarbon oxidation

A catalyst is provided, the catalyst comprising rods having mean length of 100 microns or less, the rods comprising a metal molybdate or tungstate, the metal being selected from the group consisting of iron, manganese, nickel, chromium, vanadium, aluminum, silver, titanium, copper, bismuth, and cobalt. A method of making such a catalyst is also provided.

Catalyst, method of manufacture and use thereof

A method of making one or more alcohols with a single hydroxy group, such as methanol and ethanol, the method comprising contacting a polyol and water with a basic catalyst. The polyol may be glycerol, for example. The catalyst may be magnesium oxide.

Method of making alcohols

Hopcalite-type catalysts for oxidation of CO are formed by preparing a mixed-metal oxide precursor by firstly preparing a solution of a mixture of metal precursor compounds in a solvent, followed by contacting the solution with a supercritical antisolvent to precipitate the mixed-metal oxide precursor. A mixed-metal oxide may then be prepared from the precursor by oxidation, for example by calcination. The mixed-metal oxide is then collected and optionally activated for use as a catalyst. The activated or calcined catalyst contains a nano-structured mixed-phase composition comprising phase-separated intimately mixed nanoparticles of copper and manganese oxide.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to removal of organic pollutants from aqueous effluent streams. The present invention provides a method of destructively oxidising an organic compound present in an aqueous solution, the method comprising oxidising the organic compound in the presence of a catalyst which contains uranium. The catalyst may comprise a uranium oxide. The reaction may be carried out at low temperature, e.g. ambient temperature. The method may be used to treat aqueous effluent streams to remove organic compounds from the stream.

Treatment of effluents

A process for the destructive oxidation of organic compounds containing one or more optionally substituted hydrocarbon groups, comprising the step of carrying out the oxidation in the presence of a catalyst comprising uranium oxide in which the average oxidation state of the uranium is greater than four.
