PCT No. PCT/EP97/01113 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 4, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 4, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 5, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/32866 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1997A noble metal-free catalyst composition is obtainable by a) preparing an aqueous mixture comprising i) a salt of at least one base metal selected from among the elements having atomic numbers 21-32, 39-42, 48-51, 57-75 and 81-83; ii) phosphate ions; and iii) at least one nitrogen source; and b) evaporating the aqueous mixture obtained and drying the catalyst composition thus formed. The catalyst composition prepared can be used for producing hydrogen peroxide and for the epoxidation of olefins.
