The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H-2 and O-2 over Au/TS-1 and application in oxidation of thiophene in situ
Au supported on TS-1 exhibits high activity in hydrogen peroxide formation from H-2 and O-2 under mild conditions (ambient temperature, low pressure about 1.5 MPa, water as solvent, 2 h); and thiophene dissolved in n-octane (as model gasoline) is oxidized in situ over Au/TS-1, about 82% removal of thiophene can be achieved.
