Catalytic behaviour of [Cu(en)2]2+ sorbed on zirconium molybdate in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0304-5102(89)80253-6

Zirconium molybdate has been used as a support on which [Cu(en)₂]²⁺ has been sorbed. The catalytic activity has been studied via hydrogen peroxide decomposition at different temperatures, using different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and different amounts of catalyst. A probable mechanism for the reaction is suggested on the basis of the kinetic data obtained.
