1. A process for selectively oxidizing an organic molecule, comprising:
- selectively oxidizing an organic molecule in a reaction zone by contact with a supported oxidation catalyst on a mesh-like structure, said mesh-like structure comprising a plurality of layers of randomly oriented fibers, said fibers having a diameter of less than 150 microns, said mesh-like structure without the supported catalyst having a void volume of at least 85%, said supported catalyst comprising a selective oxidation catalyst on a particulate support, said particulate support having an average particle size of no greater than 50 microns.
