Studies of the catalytic oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride and carbon dioxide over vanadia/molybdena catalysts show that the major part of the reaction involves interacting gas and gas-solid processes. The results are consistent with a mechanism in which a benzeneoxygen adduct is formed catalytically, desorbs and then reacts to give maleic anhydride entirely in the gas phase. On the basis of this proposed mechanism, the kinetics of individual reactions have been investigated in some depth. The over-oxidation of maleic anhydride has been found to be not significant under the conditions of reaction. The kinetic relationships governing the homogeneous decomposition of the adduct and the oxidation of the adduct to maleic anhydride and to carbon dioxide have been established. The results show that essentially all of the anhydride originates from mixed gas-solid/gas reaction while substantial amounts of carbon dioxide are produced entirely catalytically.

The catalytic oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide was investigated in flow experiments over silver catalysts at atmospheric pressure between 260° and 350 °C. Calcium oxalate and stannous oxide were used as catalyst promoters. Close temperature control was provided by mounting the catalyst on a silver support. At 270 °C. the selectivity increased from about 25%, with ethylene in large excess, to about 55%, with oxygen in large excess. With air constant and in large excess, the over-all reaction rate was found to be proportional to the square root of the ethylene concentration. With ethylene constant and in large excess, the reaction rate was found to be roughly proportional to the oxygen concentration. The presence of methane, ethane, or propane promoted the complete oxidation of ethylene to carbon dioxide and water. In the absence of paraffins the addition of traces of ethylene dichloride only served to poison the catalyst.
