title: Selective catalytic reduction of O2 with excess H2 in the presence of C2H4 or C3H6.
abstract: The selective reduction of molecular oxygen with excess H(2) in the presence of alkenes was achieved successfully for the first time: silver supported on alumina catalysts exhibited full conversion of O(2) at temperature as low as 50 degrees C, while the conversion of ethene or propene remained essentially zero up to 250 degrees C.
