Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour by Equimolar Mixed Oxides

Abstract

IN the course of a detailed study of the flow decomposition of hydrogen peroxide vapour on a wide range of metal and metallic oxide surfaces1, an investigation has been made of decompositions on XO/Y2O3 mixed metallic oxides. These experiments, while designed to link with the single oxide work, are of sufficient interest to require a separate communication.
