Wet oxidation of dimethylformamide via designed experiments approach studied with Ru and Ir containing Ti mesh monolith catalysts

•Wet oxidation of dimethylformamide with Ru–Ir/Ti monolith catalysts.•Design of experiments for more precise comparison of reaction rates.•Detailed characterization of the starting oxide, metallic and used catalysts.•No significant leaching of precious metals during 55h reaction time.•Both oxide and metallic sites are present on the catalyst surface during oxidation.
