Catalytic Functions Found in Crystalline Complex Metal Oxides Active for Selective Oxidation of Alkane

摘要

The studies on two prominent selective oxidation catalysts, V-P-O active for butane oxidation to maleic anhydride and Mo-V-Te(Sb)-Nb-O for propane (amm) oxidation to acrylic acid and acrylonitrile were reviewed. There can be seen common features in their catalytic properties between them, from which catalytic functions necessary for alkane selective oxidation and preparative method of oxidation catalysts were deduced.
