Disclosed is a method of producing hydrogen from formaldehyde. The method includes mixing an aqueous base, formaldehyde, and a transition metal complex having a transition metal-halide bond to form a homogenous aqueous solution having a basic pH. The halide dissociates from the transition metal complex in response to the basic pH of the solution to produce hydrogen from the formaldehyde present in the homogeneous aqueous solution.

The current embodiments relate to ruthenium-containing supported catalysts, including processes for their manufacture and use, which destroy, through catalytic oxidation, hazardous compounds contained in chemical industrial emissions and otherwise produced from industrial processes.

The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen, in which hydrogen is generated from a formate using a metal catalyst in the presence of a solvent by a two-phase system reaction in which the solvent is present in a state where an organic phase and an aqueous phase are separated.

A method for dehydrogenation of one or more hydrocarbons and regeneration and reactivation of a catalyst composition includes contacting a first gaseous stream comprising a first hydrocarbon, such as propane, with a catalyst composition in a dehydrogenation reactor at a first temperature, thereby producing a first dehydrogenated hydrocarbon, such as propylene, and a deactivated catalyst composition; combusting at least one fuel gas and coke on the deactivated catalyst in the presence of oxygen at a second temperature, thereby producing a heated catalyst composition; and reactivating the catalyst in the presence of oxygen. The second temperature is from 50? C. to 200? C. greater than the first temperature. The catalyst composition is also described and comprises gallium, platinum and a further noble metal, such as palladium.
