Abstract: The present invention provides hydro-oxidation catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, containing an organic-inorganic hybrid material as well as gold particles and/or silver particles, a process for the production thereof, and the use thereof as a catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst containing gold in elemental or bound form and molybdenum in oxidation state +VI, and to a process for the oxidation of a hydrocarbon containing at least one double bond to an epoxide, which process involves reacting the hydrocarbon with oxygen in the presence of hydrogen and in the presence of the catalyst according to the invention.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a catalyst containing manganese in elemental or in combined form and containing an element selected from lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and zinc in elemental or combined form together with a process for producing this catalyst and a process for oxidizing hydrocarbons to epoxides in the presence of the inventive catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst for the epoxidation of hydrocarbons with oxygen, a process for the preparation of the catalyst, and a process for the epoxidation of hydrocarbons with oxygen in the presence of the catalyst.

Abstract: A reactor and a process for carrying out parallel reactions on solids is described. The reactor comprises at least a sample holder block (1) with a multiplicity of reaction vessels (2a-2k), a heated support structure (3) and a cover (8, 9, 10) sealing all the reaction vessels (2a-2k). The cover (8, 9, 10) contains feed lines (4a-4k) and discharge lines (5a-5k) to each sample vessel (2a-2k). The feed lines (4a-4k) and/or the discharge lines (5a-5k) are joined together by means of feed and discharge channels (7, 8) running crosswise to said lines. The feed and discharge channels (7, 8) end in main fluid feed lines (11) and discharge lines (12).
