A range of Pt supported catalysts have been evaluated for the total oxidation of naphthalene. Catalysts contained 0.5 wt% Pt on a range of supports (g-Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , SiO 2 , SnO 2 , and CeO 2) . SiO 2 was the best support, the 0.5%Pt/SiO 2 catalyst showing a conversion to carbon dioxide of over
