Abstract
A new type of silver catalyst - a porous metallic block with a cellula r structure (foamed silver) - has been developed and its physicochemic al, structural, and mechanical properties have been optimized. A study has been made of the activity and selectivity of foamed silver cataly st in selective oxidation of methanol. The active surface of the catal yst has been studied by UV spectroscopy. It has been found that foamed silver catalyst is efficient and selective in methanol oxidation unde r both mild and severe conditions.
