perfume burner
Les molécules de l’air ambiant qui passent à proximité du brûleur sont détruites par des phénomènes de cracking et d’oxydation catalytique qui ont pour effet de les casser en molécules plus petites, puis de les oxyder. Ce procédé empêche leur recombinaison et garantit ainsi la destruction des mauvaises odeurs et des bactéries.
a perfume diffuser, said to have air cleansing properties....Perhaps the whole phrase is phénomènes de cracking (et d’oxydation) catalytique. Thanks

Selected
cracking and catalytic oxidation processes
Both cracking and oxidation processes can be catalytic. However, from the sentence, it seems like the molecules are being broken down (through cracking) and then oxidised through catalytic oxidation. Since this is a burner, cracking is perhaps thermal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracking_(chemistry).

Comment: "thanks to both of you. I preferred this for the word 'processes'. Also I checked out LM's suggestion, with the client, and it proved to be right."
