EXAMPLE - Pure ethanol was mixed with 30% aqueous hydrogen under atmospheric conditions. The mixture was oxidized using the catalyst manganese oxide. The test consisted of mixing 2 g pure ethanol with 2 g of 30% hydrogen peroxide. The reaction was very exothermic, and a large amount of gas was produced. The gas product composition comprised of 30 vol.% hydrogen, 22 vol.% carbon dioxide, and a small amount of carbon monoxide. The liquid product composition included ethoxy-acetic acid and 2-propanol based on gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy.
