Oxidative decomposition of N,N'-dimethylformamide over Pt catalysts with H-2 addition to the feed

Uchisawa J, Nanba T, Masukawa S, Obuchi A

Catalysis of decomposition of dilute N, N'-dimethylformamide was explored. Among the catalysts investigated, Pt displayed the highest activity at low temperatures (similar to200 degreesC) and DMF conversion was promoted by H-2 addition to the feed. As the Pt support material, H-ZSM-5 exhibited the best performance at around 200 degreesC in terms of harmless decomposition.
