Abstract: Oxygen scavenging materials incorporated into or attached to a package such as a gable-top or rectangular carton, used to package foods, beverages or other oxygen sensitive materials, and thereby increase shelf-life by decreasing oxygen in the headspace of the package, and decreasing oxidation of the packaged product.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are oxygen scavenging compositions and packaging articles that comprise (a) a metal catalyzed oxidizable compound and (b) at least one of a transition metal carboxylate, wherein the transition metal carboxylate comprises at least one carboxylate group and wherein each carboxylate group comprises between 20 and 30 carbon atoms, inclusive, such as cobalt behenate or cobalt arachidate.

Abstract: A process for producing ammonia comprising selecting a catalyst precursor characterized by the formula:A.sub.y M.sub.a [M'(CN).sub.c ].sub.b .multidot.n H.sub.2 OwhereinA is an alkali or alkaline earth metal or mixture thereof;M is La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Sc, Lu and Y or mixtures;M' is a group VIII metal, preferably Fe, Co, Ni or Ru or mixtures;a=0.1 to 4;b=0.1 to 4;c=4 to 6; andprovided that the catalyst is free or substantially free of Al or the combination of Al and U, activating the precursor by heating in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and pass N.sub.2 and H.sub.2 over the activated catalyst to produce ammonia.

Abstract: The process of producing high surface area mixed metal oxides comprising selecting a precursor characterized by the following formula:A.sub.x M.sub.a [M'(CN).sub.c ].sub.b.nH.sub.2 Ox=0-4;a=0-4;b=0.1-4;c=4-8;n=0-30;A=alkali, alkaline earth metal, Al, Si or mixtures;M=rare earth metals, transition metals or mixture thereof; andM'=transition metal capable of forming a cyanide (e.g. Group VIA-VIII A) or mixture thereof,and heating the precursor at a temperature rate of below 1.degree.C/minute in a controlled atmosphere consisting essentially of O.sub.2 and an inert gas to a temperature sufficient to decompose the precursor and produce the mixed metal oxide.
